(Thinker) Precognition

Cost: 20 SP

You have gain the ability to peer into the future, providing perfect knowledge of events that will transpire up to 100 days ahead from the viewpoint of your future self, this precognition has no blind spots. Within this temporal scope, you can perceive a single absolute future, a path that is predetermined to unfold unless you take action to alter it. This power bestows upon you the advantage of foreknowledge, enabling you to prepare, adapt, and potentially change the course of events.

However, wielding this formidable gift comes with two significant drawbacks. The first limitation is that your precognition ability can only be updated once a week. Once you intervene to alter the foreseen future, the knowledge of the consequences will not be revealed to you until the next update. Until then, you must navigate the altered timeline with uncertainty, eagerly awaiting the moment when your power will refresh and reveal the ramifications of your choices.

The second drawback of this power is the psychological toll it exacts on you. Upon every update of the future, you instantaneously experience all the emotions and sensations you would have encountered during the original 100-day timeframe. These emotions, whether positive or negative, surge through you in an instant. However, your mind gains a remarkable resilience, protecting you from being overwhelmed by this torrent of feelings. Though you will feel the pain, sadness, happiness, or other emotions that would have accompanied certain events, they are substantially muted. For instance, if you were destined to be stabbed in the original future, the pain you experience when actually stabbed is significantly reduced, dampened to a fraction of its actual intensity.
