|name=Aura: Keen Observation
|class=Psion

==When Used==
You concentrate on concentration and observe yourself observing. Then you stop, because it's giving you a headache, and just pay extra attention to what you're doing. You begin to project an aura of astute observation.

==When Used==

You activate the medkit. In an electronic voice it murmurs, "This won't hurt a bit" before riddling you with painful shots. Most of them numb you, and the last shot provides an amnesiac effect. Ahh, you do feel better. That really didn't hurt at all! You gain '''30-35''' HP.

Unless you're good at physics, you probably don't get that joke. Also true is the fact that unless you're really good at physics you probably wouldn't understand how this thing works. You could try asking a physicist, but every time you're tempted you remember that a physicist was the one who told you that awful photon joke in the first place.

Nonetheless based on the word "chiller" you suspect this thing keeps things cool, and based on the word "photonic" you're pretty sure it uses photons somehow.

The beginning joke is an allusion to a foundational tenet of quantum mechanics best illustrated by [[Wikipedia:the double slit experiment|the double split experiment]]. The experiment demonstrates how photons (manifesting as light) can exist in multiple places/states at once and generate interference fields rather existing in linear arrangements. Like the text says, it's best explained by a physicist.

==References==
*The contents of this fight are a slight departure from the purely-Shakespearean adventures within [[Cube Theater]]. The references are mostly relevant to Tom Stoppard's re-envisioning of Hamlet in his play [[Wikipedia:Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead|Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead]]. In Stoppard's play Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are revised from minor supporting characters to become the central focus of the story. The [[deterministic coin]] and other pieces of text are allusions to the larger themes of free will vs. determinism within Stoppard's play. One of the major plot points is that the two titular characters are struggling with the foreknowledge that they are scripted to die during the course of the original story. As a result, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern spend most of their time idly philosophizing and playing games such as "questions" while they await what seems like their inevitable fate(s).

This is a hand-sized loop of wood-grained metal, shaped like the numeral zero. It represents the sum of all divisions by zero, multiplied by the time it takes Achilles to pass a hare. Seated at the conflux of a perpetual observer and an impossibly improbable probability device, this zero's paradox harms those who wish to harm and helps those who desire to help. But boy does it mess with your mind!

'''Attacker takes 6 damage'''<br>

=How to Obtain=
Use a [[deterministic coin]] while you have an [[oculum felis]] equipped

=Obtain Message=
You flip the deterministic coin. It soars high into the air. Suddenly you feel a strange vibration coming from the oculum felis in your hand. It grows warm, and a bright golden beam shoots out into the night and spears the deterministic coin. The light seems to hold the coin aloft, and a pulsing, ringing sound fills the night air. The oculum felis pulses with one last brilliant flash, so bright you can't see for a moment. When your vision returns, the deterministic coin is gone, but something else is floating in its place.<br>
You got an item: '''Paradox Naught'''

=References=
*Zeno's paradox and Achilles passing a hare are references to [[Wikipedia:Zeno's Paradoxes|Zeno's Paradoxes]]. This paradox has to do with halving distances to cross something, and is stated in a number of forms, including one in which Achilles races a hare.
