Seer
Seers are members of the Eldar race who have passed through the many stages of the Eldar Path, which allows them to be confident enough to have mastered the mind and thus utilize their psychic powers in a more open way without fear of attracting daemons or creating rifts within the warp. Those that follow such a discipline are said to walk down the Witch Path or the Path of the Seer where they gain proper training and experience in the use of their natural psyker-based abilities.[1]
Overview
Every Seer explores their psychic potential in their own way with some learning to move objects through kinetic forces and use this technique to create living symphonies of shape as well as movement.[2b] Others instead use their talents towards empathic powers for healing purposes or to counsel others.[2b] The range of their abilities is vast and largely depends on the roles the Seer has explored whilst walking the Eldar Path.[2b] An example of this can be of an individual who lived the life of an engineer and may learn to apply their psychic powers to the structuring and arrangement of matter into buildings or bridges.[1b] The Seers of the Craftworlds believe that the Webway contains many secret paths that lead through time and reality itself.[2b]
Equipment
- Psychic Runes – psycho-receptive Wraithbone Runes[3] which are kept in bags and cases, often at the waist.[2b] The runes, like keys, lock and unlock the minds of their users enabling them to channel the powers of the Warp and also serve to protect their users – glowing hot and destroying themselves rather than the Psyker.[2b]
- Spirit Stones – in addition to their personal spirit stone, seers will wear stones which house the souls of dead seers which guide their charges down the path of the seer.[1]
