Uchiha Insight(300)(Requires Insight):

Through the use of his Sharingan, Sasuke has unlocked a more heightened sense of Insight. While Insight provides information – such as stats, powers, moves and transformations – on anyone you can see or sense with Enhanced Senses, the Uchiha Insight allows one to ascertain additional information such as basic items, consumables, bases, base improvements, and artefacts. This form of insight takes twice as long as the original insight, during which time you would not be able to effectively attack.

Got called in for this one. I'm gonna say that scanning held items (including artefacts) is reasonable, but not knowing their bases (or any artefacts hidden away) because that's just a mind read, and would need Telepathy (and use the rules of Telepathy for mind reading). So exclude the bases and specify that it only includes artefacts on the person, and fine.

However, I do think it needs to specify the time spent scanning a bit better. Probably easier for me to rewrite it here. I could probably do with clarifying the original Insight text.

Through the use of his Sharingan, Sasuke has unlocked a more heightened sense of Insight. While Insight provides information – such as stats, powers, moves and transformations – on anyone you can see or sense with Enhanced Senses, the Uchiha Insight allows one to ascertain additional information such as basic items, consumables, and currently held artefacts. Finding ALL of this information in addition to the normal Insight information would take the user another thirty seconds (sixty seconds total), though the user can try to find this information specifically first, if they want.

I like your description and will use that one. Now, the only question I have is this, if I add telepathy in order to scan items not on their person or to ascertain base info, would the cost go up or would it stay at 300, because it's still the same function?

Using Telepathy would be a whole different methodology from this move. Mind-reading is a lot more difficult than just "scanning", basically. So it wouldn't affect this move, it would just use Telepathy rules. You could try to make a move based off the Telepathy rules, such as adding major downsides to speed it up or reduce the TEC requirements.
