Insight (sage study)

Insight is a sage study in the field of the Way of the Spirit, whose practitioners have forged a profound connection with the accumulated knowledge of their ancestors and the guardian spirits of their traditional household. By honouring these legacies, the character is able to invoke hidden reservoirs of knowledge and hidden truth about their environment.

Through meditatation, they achieve a heightened state of awareness, transcending the boundaries of the physical world. In this trance, they unlock the secrets of the universe, discern hidden truths and perceive the subtle threads of destiny that weave through their lives.
