#divine {magic}

Light affinities get one of two visions prior to the Lysto mission. Either of the insurgent wrapping their hand around their neck, or of Anle’s presence at the banquet. This is in a detailed vision long before the day. The vision regarding Anle will allow a light affinity to sense and turn around in time to view Anle’s entire (spooky) arrival on the balcony.
