At lunch Merin likened the experience to sitting in the calm ocean at ebb tide and feeling the most minuscule of currents, the movement of crabs on the sand, the disturbance of the passing of a fish.[/ooc][ooc]Overt things come to him first, the location of the sun, the movement of the wind, the weight of the trees, the hardness of the substrate, the cutting of the stream. It is at this point, his eyes already closed, that even his hearing is dampened, making it important that Tor had decided to keep guard. Merin's mind harmonizes with the very essence that separates the gifted from the mundane, the laborer from the adventurer, for the vast majority of people have no way of attempting this action. He realizes during this trance state that he can break at any time but he cannot manipulate or isolate the flow of natural way, he may only observe it. Most of the way is fleeting, like the ripples made on water by skipping a stone.[/ooc][gm]Merin is able to associate major things due to memory of his actual observation of the area, but only regular patterns. He determines that his range of awareness in this state extends about 20 paces radially. Like the raccoon path on this side of the river, he determines there is another regular path on the other side used by something larger and that the fish Bolo caught was the largest one in this part of the stream feeding from a regular rove of smaller fish.[/gm]</blockquote>
