Ah, did think it was a strange omission, but that extra context makes perfect sense. Like I say, the way you've utilised the slightly unorthodox inspiration is marvellous. Yeah I know from my own experience writing backgrounds that you start yourself off restrained and catch yourself later, but there is definitely a bloat in the central section where you start panicking that you haven't made enough options with 'Awareness' or 'Second Sight' or some other fairly generic but generally necessary ability.
