The Sight

This will serve as an open plotting/quasi-permissions post for Teravian's Sight.

Generally, the ability works one of two ways - he'll either get a brief vision of something happening in the future OR he will simply have a strong feeling about it. Visions can be pretty much anything. Maybe he gets a flash of you being somwhere, maybe on a mission, before you'd even had one assigned. Alternatively, he will just know something will happen without the flashy visuals. Sometimes this intuition leads him to action. I jokingly like to refer to it as his ability to Be There Too, meaning he just gets the idea to be hanging around when things happen. Got a back room drug deal or secret tryst happening at a time and location no other sane human would be? Teravian will be lurking there, simply because he had the idea that he should.

So, if there is anything you're planning in game that you'd like him to know about or stumble upon, let me know here.

Teravian has a wide list of magic abilities that he uses from time to time, though using a lot of them on other characters is very situational and I will nearly always contact you if I intend to make use of his magic in anything passing a casual manner. That said, here's a little permissions for the stuff that's more likely to come up.

The first is his telepathy (which isn't what they call it in canon, but I'm trying for clarity here), which is the ability to speak inside another's characters mind. The connection is only one way, however (unless you also happen to be a witch from his canon). The telepathy comes with a side effect of possibly viewing your characters memories. This doesn't happen every time he uses telepathy, and often only when the connection is strongest or having a lot of power channeled through it. As an example for how this works - say Teravian was speaking to you via the Weirding and asking about your parents. He might then inadvertently get a flash of scenes from your childhood. This happens more or less instantaneously and characters without any magic may not even realize that it has happened.

The other is his Sight, which means he might randomly know (or see) something about your character's future. The knowledge is not always complete, clear, or with context, but it is never wrong.

If you're interested in Teravian knowing about happenings specifically in game, I have an open plotting post set up right here.

A run-down of all his powers is here as well.
