Having said that, Curze's genetic legacy does have particular effects on those so altered. Firstly, all Night Lords sport jet black eyes which have superior night vision{{Fn|18b}} and very pale skin (although quite how much of this comes from geneseed and how much from having a Nostraman background in those Night Lords from the doomed night-planet is unclear). Secondly, some of the Night Lords can sport varying degrees of Konrad Curze's precognition ability. In most, these are only momentary (or even subconscious) glimpses or intuitions about the future that can result in paranoid behaviour - for Curze and his children seem more inclined to forsee negative outcomes than any other type - but in the rare few full precogs amongst the Night Lords, these visions appear as painful, violent seizures that can last for many hours.{{Fn|2g}}
These prophetic seizures can be quite detailed, as well as show many possible futures, allowing certain Night Lords warbands to pick and choose their next moves with advance information, although Imperial scholars hope that, like their gene-sire, the Night Lords precognitives are driven to choose to self-fulfill fulfil the negative futures they see due to the believed inherent mental instability possessed by the Curze line.{{Fn|1}} [[Chaos Lord]]s with the ability are said to bear the [[Night Haunter's Curse]],{{Fn|33a}} and the most notable Night Lords precog is the aforementioned Soul Hunter, also known amongst his warband as ''The Prophet''.{{Fn|2g}}
