So, what does it do? Innocence counters attempts at discerning the truth about the target's statements and activities. Whether it's mind-reading, divination (ie, checking if she really put your spoon where she said she did), or some other ability (like the House Gwydion ability to see through lies), anyone wishing to pry into her secrets first has to get more successes on their roll than she got with the cantrip.
