Insight (sage study)

Insight is a sage study in the field of the Way of the Spirit, which uses the profound wisdom of mythical sages and mystics to unveil knowledge transcending the grasp of ordinary mortals. It's not the mere act of divination, but a journey that awakens the inner eye. Practitioners embark on an inward journey, entering a trance where the secrets of the universe unfold like an ancient scroll.
Further, characters are able to initiate contact with their ancestors, invoking the spirits who walked the path before them. This communion transcends the boundaries of the moral realm, providing strength, knowledge and protection in unequalled ways.
Sage Abilities
The sage abilities below are those acquired by a character through the study, according to status.
