We’re taking a close look at the twelve gifts, starting with the twins’ gifts, and then making our way through the poem:
The Lady Illusion gave us a set of twelve
Twelve children, twelve months, and twelve gifts as well
Inner and outer vision, levitation
Fire, water, transformation
Glowing, healing, communication
Singers, dancers, model makers

This month’s focus is Savannah’s gift: Outer-vision. Let’s look in Rose’s notebook for an introduction:
Outer vision is the ability to see through pretty much anything physical, unless it’s been guarded against the gift. Most people just say “seeing through walls.” It’s considered one of the magical basics, and it’s one of the two “vision” gifts, closely related to the rarer inner vision.
Savannah, opening windows just 'cause she can.
The gifted can guard their magic so no one else sees the windows they open. And others can guard against outer vision. Hm. Sounds like this could start a guard-war.
The high level of this gift is considered attainable. On top of opening windows, the gifted can “open doors,” and walk through walls. The flipside of this gift is closing things, which, like levitations flipside, is not used very often. In situations where dangerous magic needs to be cleansed, outer vision’s flipside can be helpful to close off the area.
Those with outer vision are usually good problem-solvers. They are insightful, quiet, and thoughtful, and often notice things others don’t. They aren’t quite on the same level as those with inner-vision—they’re a little less intense in both magic and personality. Their attitude tends to be more light-hearted and optimistic, but in a calmer, subtler way than other bolder gifts. Outer-vision is most closely connected to inner-vision and transformation. It is commonly symbolized by an eye, a mirror, or a pair of glasses.

Fun Fact About the Twelve Gifts:
In the study of the gifts, some believe each of the twelve gifts are linked, in a circle that looks something like this:
I suppose those arrows should be pointing in both directions, but this was a very quick scribble. It's a very basic representation of how each type of magic is related. Studying the types of magic connected to your gift will help strengthen and round out your gift. There is some debate amount gift theorists about which gifts are actually related, and if those relations can be summed up in a neat little circle. But this is a common way to begin studying "gift theory."
