All-Sight

From Activating Evolution

All-Sight, also known as Sight/Optic/Visual Adaptation, Panoptism or the Panoptic Effect is the psychic superhuman ability to see in all aspects. One with this ability can access the powers of Precognition and Postcognition to see any moment in history. The user could also access the powers Telescopic Vision, Microscopic/Magnifying Vision, full vision of the color spectrum, Infrared Vision, Night Vision, X-Ray Vision, and have 360° of vision. Superhumans with this power can even see through illusions, see the invisible, project their sight and perhaps project Laser Vision (among other visual aspects). The ability, however, only allows perception in one aspect at a time.

Note: This ability is only called All-Sight because it allows one to see in all visual aspects (on all bands of the light spectrum); it does not allow the user to see everywhere at one time; the ability to literally see or be everywhere at one time is the ability Omnipresence.

[edit] Variations:

Aerial Vision

• Aerial Vision, also called Bird’s Eye View/Vision is the ability to psychically displace one’s vision to see as though one were on top of a tall structure (or in the sky) looking down on the lay of the land. One with this ability could see foes approaching, get a feel for where everything is in his current location, find the best path to his house from his current location, or the like. Another version of this ability (called Subterranean Vision), allows the user to psychically see as though looking up from underground (useful for finding things one has dropped, seeing things that are under the ground, and the like).

•This ability can even confuse foes with Scopaesthesia, because they detect the direction from which a person is watching them, and if they believe the user is truly up in the air or down below them, it serves to assist the user in sneak attacks, or the like.

Glass Eye

• Glass Eye is the colloquial name that implies the presence of an eye that is strange in color (it usually has a gray or milky-white pupil, although other colors are possible). It is literally not attached to the body by optic nerves, but psychically manipulated by the possessor through a psychosomatic mix of Psychokinesis and Clairvoyance. The user of this eye is born with it and can see perfectly as though it was normally attached and fully-functional (and if the eye is damaged, he can usually feel it). This ability may be accompanied by another aspect of vision.

Lightless Vision

• Lightless Vision is the ability to use psychic power to see one’s environment (instead of requiring electromagnetic radiation like light). The user is not blind; he simply does not require light of any sort to see, so he can see perfectly even when light is distorted or entirely absent. One with this superhuman ability cannot be fooled by light-based illusions, they cannot sustain optical damage by looking at the sun (even an eclipse), and they cannot be blinded unless their mental capacity is impaired (as the user requires only psychic power in order to see). This ability may be accompanied by another aspect of vision and/or Superhuman Accuracy.

•This ability often allows the user to see colors like normal people can; it simply doesn’t require that the user uses electromagnetic radiation (visible, x-rays, infrared light or the like) to see.

Negative Vision

• Negative Vision is the ability to psychically invert the pupils, retinas and rods of the eyes to allow the user to see the negative of the normal color spectrum. One with this ability can see in the dark (it looks light out instead) or withstand being blinded by intense light (instead of seeing intense light, they see darkness). The user of this ability can even see through illusions (because illusory energy is inflected, and so the user instead sees reality), or the like. This ability may be accompanied by some other aspect of vision.

Penetrating Vision

• Penetrating Vision, also called Penetration Vision is the ability to use psychic energy on the eyes to see through numerous layers of an object or subject. One with this ability cannot simply elect to see entirely through a barrier to the other side (it is not Transparent Vision); the user must see past layers individually (if one wanted to see through a wall, he would have to focus to see past one layer of substance, the next layer, and so on) even though the vision is still in color, and the process may happen quickly. This ability may be accompanied by another aspect of vision.

Split Vision

• Split Vision, also called Splitvision, Split Sight or Splitsight is the presence of two forms of visual perception within one user. The user may only activate a form of enhanced visual capacity in one eye, while the other perceives normally. Or the user could see in one aspect with one eye, while the other eye perceives in another aspect (both perceive in superhuman aspects, but not the same superhuman aspect). One with this ability could use this to combine the benefits of two types of vision, so that one allows the user to see what another aspect of vision would not. This ability is always accompanied by at least one other aspect of vision.

Strange Eye

• Strange Eye is the obscure psychic ability to challenge a foe to a staring contest from which he cannot look away. This ability can be used to gain the attention of (or distract) foes, to hurt their eyes, assist a vision-based ability (Luminescence, Mesmerization, Hypnotic Beauty, etc.) among other uses. One with this ability often has optic adaptations which allow him to keep him from needing to blink for a long time (or indefinitely). After the user relinquishes power, the subject may have his vision extremely blurred or impaired, or the like. This ability may be accompanied by some other superhuman aspect of vision.
