Capabilities

User can analyze and pick up on patterns in one's environment.

This ability comes in two parts: the analysis and the perception. First, the user looks at a subject, or otherwise, comes into contact with it, which triggers the willful psionic analysis of a subject's properties and features (shape, density, texture, etc.). After the analysis, the user can pick up on any subject of the same molecular/chemical/genetic, or otherwise, structural makeup, and track them accordingly.

Applications

• Become an awesome analyst (analyze chemical components, texture, beneficial/harmful effects, etc.)
• Sense a subject's true nature (age, gender, race, any diseases) to "out" shapeshifters, or the like.
• Track down any specimen similar to one you've previously analyzed.
• Calculate probabilities to infer the future.

Associations

• Detail Intuition
• Enhanced Intelligence
• Enhanced Investigation
• Enhanced Senses
• Enhanced Wisdom

Limitations

• Analysis, if undeveloped, can be triggered randomly.
• Analysis can be used to analyze language patterns, fighting styles, etc. But this can take a while.
• At higher levels, even analyze the space-time continuum, but this takes a while to obtain.
