Orion discovers something... about himself through luminous. As the games has progressed, his hair has gone progressively from black to white. His emerald green eyes have taken on a shimmering aqua blue. Now, he finds that a symbol has appeared on his character, a sun around a moon. The engraving barely noticeable on Orion too, confusing him and worrying him, but he finds his mind significantly more relaxed and focused...

Community Mythic Intellect Gifts

A piece of Nathan's hun has become much unstrung from the rest of himself, akin to dying, tethered only with a haunt to persecute him for past misdeeds and to compel him to pursue his ambition regardless of the toll.

(I Ching Coin Casting:
After casting the three coins "imbued" with his question multiple times and constructing a hexagram bottom upwards based off of the results, noting which hexagram it is, Nathan takes the changing line into consideration, the existence of which denoting whether or not all the factors in the question have come into play yet, and creating another hexagram if so, following the process.

After finishing, the result can be consulted from the I Ching, which details explanations for hexagrams depending on all the factors above. The difficult part is interpreting and figuring out what's underneath the explanations, which is riddled with symbolism and metaphors, and formatting that into something intelligible, which is primarily done in the head, perhaps with some aid from pre-existing information.)

You gain the following benefits at all times.

Your Intellect rating is increased by 0. You may Exert your Mind to automatically gain an Outcome of 5 on any roll that uses Intellect (Cannot be used on combat rolls or Power activations).

You also gain the following effects:

  • Brilliant Deduction: You may spend five minutes pondering an enigma, puzzle, or mystery, and roll Intellect at Difficulty 8. Success will reveal a clue or other tidbit that you have otherwise missed. Limit once per enigma.

  • Attribute bonuses from multiple sources do not stack. Instead the highest bonus is used.

Carver's psychic capabilities allow her to plug into the Noosphere, the collective unconscious. This allows her to sometimes pull random tidbits of information, read intentions, and most crucially, offload portions of her mental strain to every single mind on the planet. Infinitesimally less than a drop in the bucket for everyone else, but it allows Carver to push herself for longer.

She needs to be careful, though. She can't do it for long, or else risk her personality being sucked into the collective unconscious, leaving behind an empty husk of what she was. And that's a one way trip, for now.
