The power to learn new information about the area you are in.
Used by Akira Han, Created by Butters2077.
(Activating this Effect is not obvious. The only sign you are using an Effect is his body temperature is degrees warmer than usual.. )

Akira can place his hand on the ground, proceeds to breathe in and out once, and “feel” the earth by pressing his hand into the grass. Feeling into the roots and closing his eyes, he could feel the energy and aura of every living being within a 100 feet radius. Even if said beings left in that area a long time ago. Anyone that’s near Akira can can feel a warm, calming glow of energy around him. He can only activate the effects by actually touching the grassland and dirt, and not any other surface (I.E. Steel, concrete, glass, etc.), and he cannot be touched during the process, or it’ll cancel out.
