Test Wisdom or Valour
Wisdom and Valour aren't the same as Skills but you can test them using the same dice mechanics (Wits TN for Wisdom, Heart TN for Valour). However, I can't find any examples of them actually being tested like this except for Shadow Tests. Can you call for a test of Wisdom or Valour more generally? I seem to recall a 1e scenario (Marsh Bell?) that called for such a test but can't remember.

From the Marsh Bells Scenario:
If a hero fails the test, he gains a Shadow point and enters the pool, walking towards its centre as if in a daze. If the Shadow point makes a character Miserable (or the hero was Miserable already), he is completely transfixed and disappears under the dark waters before other companions may stop him (as if he keeps behaving normally until the very last moment).
I think that this would fall under the "Sorcery" part of Sources of Shadow in 2E

Re: Test Wisdom or Valour
In 1e there are also Fear tests that go against Valour and if failed result in the hero being Daunted (cannot spend Hope for the remainder of the scene), but I did not see anything analogous in 2e.

It is still there. Page 154 - Regarding all undead:
STRIKE FEAR: Spend 1 Hate to make all Player-heroes in sight gain 3 Shadow points (Dread). Those who fail their Shadow test are daunted and cannot spend Hope for the rest of the fight.

Re: Test Wisdom or Valour
Nice catch. Now it's an adversary-specific thing. In 1e it was listed right alongside corruption tests.
