Prophetic Memory
Prophetic Memory. Prophetic Memory is the oracle's archive, and it is the heaviest thing they carry. Every vision they have ever had — every smoke reading, every dream, every omen read in bird-flight and broken stone — is preserved in their mind with the clarity of the moment it arrived. They cannot forget. They cannot blur the edges. They can lay a vision from ten years ago beside one from last week and compare them, finding patterns no other living person could see. This is the gift's blessing. Its curse is that the bad visions are preserved as perfectly as the good ones. The oracle can close their eyes and see, in unflinching detail, the city burning, the figure walking out of the fire, the face they have not yet been able to name. The memory does not fade. The oracle has stopped hoping it will.
