Eight Winds in Harmony

Insight I

Precognition

Whenever an ally consumes [Eureka], accumulate points of [Inspiration]. Paper Heron increases the likelihood of [Inspiration] points being distributed onto attack-type incantations. The maximum points of [Inspiration] that can be allocated to basic Incantations is increased. At the start of the round, Paper Heron restores all [Eureka] to self and grants [Eureka] to allies.

[Impromptu Incantation] is now of the Plant Afflatus and deals Reality DMG. It splits its attacks, selecting additional targets; the fewer targets, the higher the DMG Dealt by [Impromptu Incantation].

Insight I

Upon entering combat, Paper Heron deploys the [Qi Panorama] array. After casting Ultimate, if not under [Qi Panorama], deploy it. Max [Eureka] is increased.
