  • If the user develops or has a trauma of corpses/blood/gore, this may become useless unless with prior counsel.
  • The murderer might destroy the body into an unworkable state to mask the cause. However, depending on how the body was destroyed, the user can infer what the cause of death was with the way it is being masked e.g. If the victim is covered in wounds, the killer might be trying to mask blood blotches (or they were tortured).
  • User may have to be physically present at the crime scene, meaning it may not work if the user tries to analysis a body on a screen or on a newspaper.
  • They need a body to first get use of the power.
  • May require a degree of training or exposure.
  • May take time to achieve mastery.
