EFFECTS/WHAT HE LEARNS:
* Apparently he got back to the present somehow! Though not long ago, since Wirr knew but the rest of his friends didn't.
* The memory doesn't tell him where he is, but it must be important since everyone he knows is defending it.
* It means a lot to him that Aelric trusted him enough to let him Read swordsmanship lessons; his powers are feared (probably for good reason). Aelric is a bro (and a ridiculous swordsman).
* Wirr is just fascinated with Davian's augur powers, because best friends forever.
* He can absorb skills out of people's minds, but physical skills don't translate well because the memories he Reads are from the other person's perspective, in their body. Most people can't detect when he's Reading them. (See previous point re: a good reason.)
* Malshash wasn't kidding when he said Reading was dangerous; he's definitely trying to fuck up the enemy's minds (and failing because of their magic-blocking armor). He can't be trying to drain them because he's specifically targeting their heads.
* The Tenets are some kind of massive magical binding that take effect once someone uses a certain amount of Essence. One of them is not to use Essence with intent to harm non-Gifted, even indirectly. He's had them referenced before, but not explained this clearly.
* With time to think, he can guess that the enemy armor might be letting them manipulate time; they definitely have superhuman reflexes, speed and strength, plus the ability to see in the dark. Their helmets have no eyes, but there's a symbol -- three vertical wavy lines within a circle -- on their faceplates. This is somehow very ominous.
* All his friends are pretty badass. So is he.
* It's not going to be enough on their own to save the city, even against the enemy's first wave.
* +50 cool under fire
* +10 confidence
* +100 bro feelings for Wirr, Aelric and Dezia
* +20 swordsmanship; he may pick a sword up from the gym now.
