Capabilities[]

Users are all-knowing over the present, possessing an infallible and boundless understanding over any current happenstance. The users' scope/depth of their field of perception when it comes to the present extends from foreseeing entire occurrence from the entire globe to the most intricate detail or factor happening in real-time to perceiving every ongoing phenomenon in the universe. To explore the depth of this ability, this can also infer the context and/or subtext of the happenings the users can perceive, giving them a matter of accuracy. This understanding also translates to the user being cognizant to data and information some aren't aware of at the time, turning them into vital information gatherers, and the already processes and internalized knowledge about it, they can formulate strategies on the fly.

With their closer perception of the present, the users can possibly "nudge" currents events to their fashion and advantage, modifying the outcome on a particular moment.

The users' natural limitations are still present, albeit lessened by the power's nature, they are quite limited on its temporal scope of witnessing the existing moment, so those visions cannot be repeated; once it's happened, it's happened.
