Template:Clairvoyants

Jaye already made a blog for clairvoyants. I feel like leaving them in three categories is limiting, given how 'clairvoyance' is a very expansive spectrum. I understand the need to safeguard against OP clairvoyants, so I figured whether wanting to breach the three categories or not, they should have critical negatives regardless of what type.

Negative

 * Clairvoyants are unable to correctly apply their abilities without years of training.
 * Characters can be made with the training in their history. Self-taught ones can be very volatile.
 * They will subconsciously use their powers willy-nilly until they try to focus it.
 * Clairvoyants depending on their mental stamina will be tired out every time they use it.
 * Clairvoyants who suppress their powers would be mentally self-harming and may be diagnosed with different mental disorders.
 * They could suppress it, yes, but not for very long. If they don't use it at least once every while, it will harm them both physically and mentally. Clairvoyance is a part of them, and ignoring it has consequences.
 * A technique most clairvoyants would use is to dial down their clairvoyance to almost barely anything. They'd still be using it, but the effect would be miniscule and wouldn't harm them. Their clairvoyance would be reduced to what would seem to be as greater intuition.
 * Clairvoyants who tap into great reservoirs of knowledge will be overcome with it and may be knocked out.
 * Clairvoyants will struggle to control what information they get and may be severely affected by it.
 * Even the ones who've been training since childhood can get off track when searching for something.
 * Clairvoyants can be hindered by mind magic.
 * Clairvoyants are susceptible to migraines, headaches, etc.
 * Clairvoyants are more prone to becoming Obscurials than most.

Traits

 * Clairvoyants tend to have enormous mind spaces.
 * Clairvoyants are not typically athletic and will prefer to exercise their mind.
 * Clairvoyants may struggle from mood swings.

Lore

 * Clairvoyance does not correlate with magical ability because many Squibs are credited with it. It's speculated that known Muggles who have it have a magic user somewhere up the family tree.
 * Clairvoyants are often confused with Seers in the Muggle setting.
 * Clairvoyance is called the "omnipresent magic" because it can be present in many people who never realize they have it due to them subconsciously using the 'dial down' technique.
 * Clairvoyance 'hibernates' in most people and is commonly activated in adulthood. When activated any earlier, the user can pose a danger to others but most of all to themselves.
 * Traumatic and/or incredibly emotional events are the most common triggers for clairvoyance to make itself available and known to the user.
 * Most Muggle clairvoyants aren't unspeakably powerful. Squibs and other magical folk get the brunt of the gift.
