Harry channels the vigilance and resolve of Ilya Muromets, relying not on sight, but on his connection to the world around him. As he exerts his mind and focuses, his heightened senses allow him to perceive the area in ways others cannot. Over the course of a minute, he methodically “feels” the space around him—not physically, but through vibrations, airflow, and the resonance of his surroundings.
Traps and ambushes stand out like discordant vibrations in the otherwise steady rhythm of the area. A faint tension in the air reveals the presence of a tripwire, while subtle shifts in pressure signal hidden dangers or lurking enemies. Concealed doors and secret caches reveal themselves as whispers of drafts through cracks, changes in density underfoot, or the faint scent of something hidden.
Through Ilya’s legacy, Harry’s blindness becomes his strength, transforming the environment into a tapestry of sensations. The area’s secrets unfold, granting him unparalleled awareness of dangers and hidden features. Just as Ilya Muromets stood as a vigilant protector of his land, Harry uncovers and understands what others cannot, guided by the echoes of the world around him.
