Hands and Eyes Within canon, Adam’s connection to the ley lines is a deep and pervasive one. It is directly tied to his abilities as a psychic, as a Magician, and as the waker of the lines and thusly of Cabeswater. Within the game, this connection would gravitate to the nearest source of similar energy—either as existing ley lines or the energy lines that lay between Porters (whichever is most acceptable to the mods). However, as this energy is not the same as the one Adam has come to know, it is like static—unstable and unpredictable. Through this connection, Adam would be about to use the flow of power to amplify or weaken the abilities of those close by (with a max distance of roughly 30 meters). However, to be truly effective, Adam would have to be on the line of energy itself; the further he is from it, the closer he needs to be to the person he is either amplifying or weakening. If he is too far from the line, his attempts would be nil. It is important to note that all of this requires concentration, and with the unstable nature of this connection, Adam is likely to experience what is essentially a surge wherein the energy backfires and shorts out his own abilities and cuts off his connection to the energy pathways for roughly 24 hours (or longer if the surge is large enough).
Tarot Reading Adam is able to see into the past, present and future, as life and time are not linear. Tarot reading is one of the ways he can focus the ability. He can use the cards to get a general idea of possibilities, but it is rather limited as the readings themselves are based on the cards drawn and the interpretation of those cards. Adam is mostly used to speaking in generalities and with understanding the emotions from past or future events. In the game setting, other characters would have to physically handle the cards for Adam to get a basic read from a three-card linear spread—without them touching the cards it would be conjecture and likely inaccurate. Readings will be clearer and more specific the longer he knows and the closer he is to someone. Highly specific readings would only be performed through player-player discussion, as part of a player plot, or through use of a permissions post.
Scrying Adam’s preferred method of scrying is hydromancy, which requires a reflective surface made of any liquid (often in a bowl). When he is scrying, Adam goes into a trance. Within this realm, Adam stares blankly into the surface in use as he delves into the potential pathways presented to him within what is essentially a more existential and spiritual realm. He often uses light as a focusing source during these sessions. Within the aspects of this game, it is a more spiritual trance, one that creates a more out-of-body experience that places him into a subconscious plane of existence. For this to produce any worthwhile results, Adam must be focused on searching for a specific item or person. It should be noted that it could be used to enter the subconscious of others if requested, as this is a skill he demonstrates within “Opal” and Call Down the Hawk (though that would also require the subject to be within physical reach and unconscious). The longer he is in this state, the less likely he will be able to return to his own body, resulting in death as he will stop breathing after ten minutes. A cut with a knife or sharp object can be used to bring him back before he can reach the point of death, as the pain will draw him out of a meditative state. As with tarot readings, this would be subject to a permissions post or player-to-player discussions.

TAROT READING
Tarot: Confusion, worry, hurt. Ever present fear (fear of ruining things, fear of having brought The Eye to this world, fear of anyone knowing he destroyed his world). And just a tiny sliver of protectiveness over Martin.
Details: He! Is! A! Harbinger! And probably the whole "Guest For Mr. Spider" incident.
Notes: You know his canon, you know what I'm about!
