Capabilities[]

Users can discern the past and past events using various means, usually entering a trance while seeing and hearing a noted past event, whether it be concerning themselves or of an unfamiliar lineage in a past occurrence. And compared to Precognition, Retrocognition is usually more consistent due to the event(s) perceived having already happened in the past and not in the future, where nothing is predetermined. The user can recall any event that happened in the past, even obscure, intricate events. Occasionally spontaneous. This ability shows who did what at that particular time; similar to the psionic/extrasensory ability of Clairvoyance but only seeing anything from the past, despite not being there.
