Wiser

Wiser is one of the Four Talents bestowed upon mankind by the goddess Sha. It is the ability to read the flow of power in all beings, dead or alive.

Manifestation of Wiser
Wiser is kind of the odd one out when comparing to the other Talents. Wiser doesn't manifest at a certain moment, but builds up in a person and becomes more powerful over time. That's why Wiser is not accounted for during Testing. People who think they can apply to become a Wiser can always consult members of the Order during a Testing, but they will not get a garantuee that they have the Talent. Instead, they have to travel to Eresath themselves and be tested by the present Wisers. Even so, it is more than likely that even after a few years of training it might turn out they do not have the talent for Wiser. This is the main reason why there are so few Wisers in the realm.

Nature of Wiser
The ones that know all there is and all there was, is a commonly used description when talking about Wisers. They have the ability to read the flows of power in all living or dead things and deduct from that reading what has happened to that perticular subject. Many common folk consider Wiser not to be a Talent, but rather a training of the mind. they however could not be more wrong. Wiser might be the hardest of the Four Talents to study and train. It asks of the user an enormous amount of concentration and willpower to pick out the flows of power they want to study and ignore the rest.

Wisers in the Realm
There are few Wisers in the realm at present, no more than thirty-five are currently alive. Even rarer than the Dovra'Sha, they are highly respected in the Order and the realm in general. Most of them spend their days in Eresath, gathering the power from all over the kingdoms to learn and write down. The youngest among them, and the most adventurous, travel across the lands to learn directly from the source.

The nobles and common folk do not know much about the Wisers. What they do know is that a Wiser's judgement is final and there is no way of contesting it. But since most Wisers choose to remain in Eresath, their judgement is seldom heard in trials and matters of justice.
