About the path

NameSeer
Sequence 0Seer
Path groupВсемогущий Бог (Солнце, Светило, Тиран, Палач, Ученик)
Allied pathwaysSun, Tyrant, The Hanged Man, Disciple

Seer, ruling over mind, dreams, and suggestion. Its bearers read thoughts, heal and break sanity, govern dreams.

The path begins with the Spectator potion (Sequence 9) and leads to Sequence 0 — The Seer, god of reason and visions. It belongs to the "Omnipotent God" group together with the paths of Sun, Tyrant, Hanged Man, and Apprentice.

It is with the Spectator potion that Audrey Hall — Justice of the Tarot Club and one of the most charming heroines of the novel — begins her journey.

Action Method

Method of Action — a way to digest the potion. The Other must behave as his stage prescribes until the power becomes part of him. While the potion is not yet digested, the bearer is vulnerable: the power is already there, but control over it is not.

Path roles go from observation to intervention. The Watcher observes people without interfering in their affairs. The Telepath and the Psychiatrist already work with another's mind, the Hypnotist and the Manipulator — with another's will.

For a long time, the Method remained the knowledge of the few: the church hierarchs were in no hurry to reveal it, and many Others rose blindly, paying for it with their sanity.

The Path of the Seer stands above reason, emotions, and dreams. Its bearers see others' feelings, read thoughts, and rule others' wills — first by persuasion, then by direct command. The path's basic tool is spiritual sight: the ability to see what is hidden from ordinary view, from the emotions of an interlocutor to entities that have no place in the visible world. The ladder leads from the Watcher, who only observes, to the Seer — the one who sees the whole.
