Aspect: [Visionary].
Aspect Rank: [Divine].
Aspect Description: [The Visionary Pathway is adept at psychological manipulation. Authority over Mind, Discernment, and Imagination. With the symbols of Creator and The Ruler of The Mind World, granting partial Omnipotence and Omniscience within that Domain]
Aspect Abilities: [Spectator, ???, ???, ???, ???, ???, ???, ???, ???, Visionary].
[Spectator: A Spectator receives great enhancement, mostly on their inferential, analytical, observational, and identification abilities along with their memory. Spectators possess keen powers of observation when it comes to observing individuals in either an individual or group sense.
They can look at a person strictly from a bystander's perspective, discovering their true thoughts from their expressions, their manners, and their subconscious actions. Through this, they can accurately figure out connections and draw conclusions from the details they gathered to form an accurate mental model of the target. A Spectator will also possess the sharpened eyesight needed to analyse a target's body language.]
[Visionary: As the master of the Mind World, the Visionary holds dominion over all mental realms. In essence, They are the embodiment of Humanity: Humanity is both good and evil, rational and mad. Humanity arises naturally but can also be manufactured artificially by the Visionary.
As the The Ruler of The Mind World, the Visionary can also be, in a sense, Omniscient, but this effect is limited to matters related to the Mind World. Their Discernment can also extend into the Fate, Reality, and Illusion Domains. They hold some Dream authority- the concept of Dreams itself. They hold partial authority over Loss of Control, the cause of one's descent into corruption.]
I stared at the information hanging in the air before me, a shimmering screen of light that only I could see. For a short moment, my mind couldn't compute what it was being fed, before I let out an abrupt laugh. Thankfully no one else seemed to hear me, or care if they did, otherwise I would have ducked my head in embarrassment.
Visionary.
The realization was entirely surprising to be honest. This body, the name, the cross I carried...on some level I had expected to receive one of the God Almighty's Pathways, but the exact one was less certain. Visionary was indeed Adam's Pathway, but Adam was just the Ancient Sun God's backup, while He held Hanged Man and Sun initially. I hadn't really considered possessing White Tower or Tyrant actually, just the other three. Still, not that I knew for certain I could lock in on which path to pursue.
In Lord of the Mysteries, the Visionary Pathway is one of the few that can kill High Sequence Beyonders while not being one yourself: madness was the root of everything in that novel after all, and the Visionary holds the trigger for Loss of Control. A Reaper and Shepherd are other examples, and I suppose a Priest of Light could deal harsh damage to a Demon or Shaman King due to type-advantage.
Then, my eyes scanned over my Attributes.
[Uniqueness of Visionary]. This one was concerning: In the system I understood, the Uniqueness was the final, ultimate ingredient needed to become a Sequence 0, the apex of a Pathway. It was the Pathway's ultimate authority, its' symbolic manifestation. To have it as a base attribute was… it was impossible. It was like being born as a finished God.
According to the author himself, a sentient and alive Uniqueness on its own possesses the raw power of a complete Sequence 0, merely lacking the symbolic influence without the Sequence 1 Characteristics.
To put it into reference, the Hidden Sage was stronger than Bethel Abraham despite the latter being more "complete". Guess Steam wasn't that much of a fraud, though He was still the runt of the litter. Seriously, not even having a sliver of a Sephirah under your control by the 5th Epoch? Even Farbauti's dead alt account managed to dabble with the River of Eternal Darkness. Amon would be near that level too, but not quite, since the Ancient Sun God placed restrictions on "Him" via imbued Humanity.
[Flame of Divinity]. The term was familiar to me too, since it seemed to play an important role in the world of Shadow Slave. Nephis began with this Attribute unlocked from the start, while Sunny had to climb his way up to it. [Your soul is aflame with the light of divinity] was all it read, so just as vague as in canon. Perhaps it would allow me to take Blood Weave from the Vile Thieving Bird's Egg? Uhh, or did Sunny do it because of the Shadow God's legacy?
Damn, my memory was already starting to fail. Hey in my defence, the beginning of the story was pretty quick, and I never re-read most of volume one. Call it PTSD from the ending.

Not even the Unknown triggered this from the Spell, the hell was I afflicted with? Hmm, no, I had a solid guess what it was. [You have been blessed by n̵̫̦͍͛̓̚f̴͍̙͛͛́i̵̪͕͔͌̕͝n̵͇͖̾͐͌͜ì̵̢̺̺̔̈́t̵̼̝̐͠y̵̡͓͙̔͑͘ and all the chaos it may bring.-Love, the Curator]
