Effect

A win identifies human Resonance and intensity, or whether the sample is mortal, ghoul, vampire, or otherwise supernatural. Vampire blood also reveals relative Blood Potency and an approximate generation band. A critical win reveals past diablerie and generation within one; it can identify another supernatural type if you already know of that creature. An ordinary success does not automatically name every supernatural species.
