Human Observation(A)
Capable of discerning the true natures of all he perceives as long as they are not an inhuman existence. He can also tell the veracity behind words that others utter.

Appearance:
Personality:
Adam Smith is an astute and observant individual who holds himself with highly refined mannerisms. His actions are concise while his diction is succinct, a far cry from the eloquent locutions that many of high educational standard in his time spouted. He is a rather impatient man, and somewhat irascible, but holds a calm poise about him regardless. Smith is an utterly utilitarian being who thinks in terms more affable with numbers than actual human interaction. His detached efficiency is such that many wonder how he even has the knowledge to observe other human beings, as his aloof mindset seems utterly removed from any understanding of humans. Smith considers himself a neutral arbiter of human nature, an outside independent variable by which the interactions of mankind can be measured and valued, and this trait especially manifested in his greatest accomplishment of establishing an economic system that is now championed throughout most of the world.

For heroic spirits whose single defining characteristic elevated them to the status of heroes, that single characteristic may become the basis of their heroic existence as is the case for Li Shuwen and his martial arts. It is such in the case of Adam Smith, who, after seventeen years, produced his magnum opus: The Wealth of Nations. It was a treatise that catalyzed the onset of capitalism, and also heralded an impetus for European imperialism throughout the world. Comparable to the Origin of Species or the Principia Mathematica, it was a revolutionary text that held worldwide repercussions that can still be felt today.
The name Adam Smith is not prevalent. However, the term capitalism is a global phenomenon. As such, the heroic spirit Adam Smith and the concept of Capitalism have merged to become an existence one and the same. Just by existing, Adam Smith alters the laws of the World. As such, this noble phantasm can be classified as Anti-World. However, this does not entail that the noble phantasm can alter the world at a planetary scale, merely that it can modify inherent laws within the world regardless of scale. A truly planetary alteration would be an anti-planet noble phantasm.
When Adam Smith is summoned, his very existence acts as a keystone by which the concept of the "Invisible Hand of the Market" may be summoned. The invisible hand was Smith's term for the pushes and pulls of the market by which humans naturally assumed certain economic tendencies, and that observation crystallizes fantastically into a literal force that shapes the world. In essence, the Hand causes the world around Smith to operate as a "Market", and the range of this "Market" expands endlessly but slowly independent of whatever prana Smith himself possesses. Rather, the invisible hand draws from the recognition of "capitalism." Similar to magical foundations that are tied into the lands they originate from, "capitalism" becomes a concept that the invisible hand searches out for. Should the hand be within an area that has been influenced by "capitalism", then the hand's effects will work. Only when a land devoid of "capitalism" is encountered can this noble phantasm be halted.
Areas of the World that are under the influence of the "market" are subject to the economic vicissitudes of capitalism. Basically, the "market" recreates the standing of Smith when he analyzed human nature from an objective standpoint and devised an economic system to encompass all of mankind's fickle nuances. It creates a stimulation of a free market where miracles are possible as long as one has the capital to sustain them. In this "market", units of prana are considered to be capital. By utilizing the currency of prana, anyone in the "market" may deal with the World or other beings with prana and produce resources and items that normally could not be acquired. However, the competitive systems and checks of capitalism shall also be present, meaning that one must always be wary of the guidelines of economics. For example, should one manage to give away a gift without any conceivable cost to anyone other than oneself, then that defies the rule that "there is no such thing as a free lunch" and thus causes the World to reject the being that performed such an act.
