[FOCI]
Translation Codex
Aura readers are those with both an eye for the psychic and a capacity for empathy beyond that of the rest of us. Often those who manifest this Focus are in a receptive mental state upon entering the recursion. They are either emotionally raw and ready to feel anything, or incredibly emotionally centered. In either case the result is a psychic with their mind in the surface thoughts of everyone around them.
