Editing Second Sight (section)

==Uses==

The Sight is different for everyone, using different imagery (and sometimes non-visual senses.)<ref name=":4">“Listen up, you two, here’s your first lesson in the field.  I want 
you to pay particular attention to all the weirdness going on around 
us.  Start with the immediate stuff, the connections between each of us,
things being carried back and forth.  Over time, you’ll visualize it 
into something like cords, strings, ribbons…”

“The veil?” Jessica asked.<br>
“Yeah.  Mist.”<br>
“Yeah.  I’ve heard people theorize that the Sight might lean on these sorts of things, depending on who we are.  Desolate ruins for anger, darkness for fear and apprehension.  Cold for mourning.”<br>
“I See the world as dark with laser outlines,” Zed said.<br>
“I see the world the Hungry Choir brought me into,” Brie said.<br>
“Yeah,” Jessica replied.  “I don’t see anything too different.  I needed clear vision, going in.”<br>

Lucy had to bring one hand to her afro-ponytail to push it to where she could see it.  Pink?<br>
“Why the hell?”<br>
Verona laughed.<br>
She closed her eyes, much as she’d opened them.  Her hair was 
normal.  Light brown, glossy, with the highlights of blonde she thought 
of as the only thing she’d inherited from her dad, and total pain to 
take care of. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/05/12/lost-for-words-1-2/ excerpt] from [[Lost for Words 1.2]]<br>

Lucy nodded, her hair bobbing out of sync behind her.  With Avery’s 
sight, the hair was pink at the ends, and Lucy’s eyes were a rosy brown. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/05/19/lost-for-words-1-4/ excerpt] from [[Lost for Words 1.4]]

This wasn’t water or water vapor.  It was spirits.<br>

Sometimes it’s hard, sometimes it’s easy.” - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/01/11/bonds-1-7/ excerpt] from [[Bonds 1.7]]</ref> The sprits within your Self will naturally latch on to patterns and habits of usage, so it is important to use one's Sight in the ways one intends to go on using it at the beginning; overuse can lead to it being "stuck on". Some Practitioners deliberately choose to have some Sight always available.<ref>“My Sight wouldn’t go away.  It stayed in one part of my eye.”<br>
“My theory was that it’s like straining a muscle,” Lucy added.<br>
“Have you been using it a great deal?” Miss asked.<br>
Avery shrugged and nodded.<br
“The part of you that connects to the Sight isn’t physical.  It’s 
your Self, your soul, your ‘you’.  The complex spirit or fingerprint 
that makes up all the parts of you that are distinct and unique when put
together as a whole.  It adheres to patterns, adjusting and adapting by
scales that have nothing to do with muscles or physical health.”<br>
“What happened?” Avery asked.<br>
“It adjusted.  As spirits do, your spirit worked off of underlying 
patterns and assumptions, that you were someone who always used the 
Sight, so you always wanted the Sight available.  There are many 
practitioners who do this on purpose, refining their Sight so it is 
something they can always have available, for specific purposes, and 
keep their vision clear for other things.”<br>
“Uh, so how do I tell my Self to not do that?” Avery asked.<br>
“That might be something that Charles can help you with better than I
 can.  Intuitively, it makes sense that if you don’t want it on most of 
the time, don’t use it most of the time.”<br>
“Are there any other ways?” Lucy asked.<br>
“You could make the pattern more elaborate, so it is harder to fall 
into by unconscious habit.  Saying a particular word or wearing your 
mask or a pair of glasses when you want the Sight available.”<br>

Some Practitioners train their second sight to show them things relevant to their practice.<ref name="2.1e1">With my newly acquired second sight, I could make out the spirits that infused everything.

I reversed the process.  Eyes closed, inhaling, eyes open.

Again, there were the hints of life.  I could see something faint, like dust motes, spraying lightly where the room ended and the hallway began.  As though the space warping effect was creating a kind of friction between spaces.
<br>
When I focused on the motes, they stood out in my vision, and I could see more of them in the room.

I cupped my hand to catch one.

It turned, doing a small somersault before darting between the fingers that tried to close around it.

She could hear bitter, angry whisperings in her deaf ear, reminding her of past things.

Ruin and Disaster roared in her deaf ear, and images danced at the

[[Augurs]] specialize in Sight-related Practices, among other things. Practices which can tie into the Sight include:

*Training your Sight to switch between different modes of perception on cue, such as whenever you tap your glasses.<ref name="2.ze2">Nicolette smiled.  She adjusted her glasses, and her fingernail clicked into a groove at the rim, then to another.  Each ‘click’ was an adjustment, and each one made her Sight change to a different mode of Seeing.  Her headache pounded in the background as she switched to seeing him as a doll with chains run through him to seeing him as a figure of light, surrounded by splashes of color, to seeing the electricity running through the walls and the blood running through his veins.  She noted the tools and weapons he had, the colors and intensities of them in various Sights and angles. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/07/11/stolen-away-2-z/ excerpt] from [[Stolen Away 2.z]]</ref>

She found them.  The clearing.  The hut.  Three girls.  Her creations peered through the trees and the leaves, watching them do a circuit, looking for something.  The image was a bit blotchy, because of the sickness.  A bit jittery, because of the fear.  Overly sharp, because of the pain.  The cost of using such things as a power source.<br>

Some things can produce an effect similar to the Sight, including:

*Many [[Others]] have alternate perceptions similar in many ways to the Sight, although not necessarily able to be turned off. Practitioners who cross the line from being human may lose their Practitioner's Sight but can gain other forms of awareness.<ref name=":1">“I feel it.  Pressure,” Matthew said.  “I was chasing it, driving this way and that.  We’re close to a nice big patch of it.”<br>
“Is that your Sight?” Verona asked.<br>

will recognize the individual by their implement.<br>
Much ado has been made about the allegorical ‘diagram’ fragment that 
an item may represent.  Here, we can return to that notion and say that 
for these Others, the implement and the associated diagram may be placed

Other students changed as well.  Avery had the deer mask.  Jessica had two silver lines running down from her eyes, her skin and hair beaded with moisture.  Dom, Talia, and Jorja weren’t as affected as some, but Lucy could see how Dom’s hands were paler.  Talia resembled her doll and her doll resembled her.  Jorja had little pastel pellets littering her hair and shoulders, in stark contrast to how dark her clothes and hair were, and how grim her expression was.<br>
