Clairvoyance is a natural phenomenon that occurs within the magical community around the world. Some have said it’s an inherited skill, but it’s also been known to just randomly develop in a child of no clairvoyance lineage. One thing that people agree on though is that Clairvoyants are not made, they are born.
Clairvoyance is the ability to delve into the world of possibilities, maybes, and who knows. It’s fickle and ever changing. Because of its unusual flexibility (and margin for error) many witches and wizards scoff at the very idea that true clairvoyance exists. They deem it a guessing art with no real practicality. Those individuals are wrong.
Clairvoyants have commanded great respect and power throughout history. Those that can cope with the negatives and can learn from their visions are wise and knowledgeable and able to guide and advise others.
ABILITIES AND SKILLS
Clairvoyants have the capacity to know what is to come, but it can be far more complicated. It’s an ‘Inner Eye’, an over developed magical sense that most magical beings do not possess.
Clairvoyants are naturals in the art of Divination. Tea reading, crystal balls, etc. They have a much higher chance of success when using these materials to try and foresee the future.
Each Clairvoyant is unique in how their power manifests, so listed below are all the currently established forms of Clairvoyance used on the site, and we leave it open to the writer to decide which abilities they use.
- Flashes - seconds long visions of the immediate future (the next few minutes to a few hours).
- Guessing - good at guessing trivial information. (don’t play 20 questions with them.)
- Dreams - may see events to come when they dream.
- Hyperawareness - heightened sense of awareness of their surroundings.
- Premonitions - visions of events to come.
- Past glimpses - flashes of past events, always relating to a person or item near them.
- Doom sense - a sense of how in danger people around you are.
- Timeline - look into particular peoples’ futures and catch glimpses of important events to come for them. (such as love, loss, major achievements, etc.)
STUDENTS
Adolescent clairvoyants are more prone to being unable to control their power due to still being in their developmental years. While some may show an extraordinary amount of control for their age they are more susceptible to struggle.
RESTRICTED ABILITIES
These are abilities that exist but aren’t permitted to be used without approval.
- Prophecies - visions of world changing events with no time restriction (could be decades or centuries from now.)
TRIGGERS
The Inner Eye is a very sensitive magical sense. So sensitive that it is able to pick up on the powers of the universe and see the future, a task that even the most accomplished of witches and wizards have failed to duplicate. Understandably many clairvoyants struggle to control their powers. Each person is unique in what may or may not cause them to lose control, but everyone has something (referred to as a ‘Trigger’). Sometimes it can be the most mundane of things. Simple daily tasks, certain emotions, even the company of particular individuals. Clairvoyants can learn to overcomer their triggers with practice and time (meditation is a great way to learn control.). It takes years of studying and commitment.
