Can't say you guys are wrong. I was going for general overview but when I do that it tends to get a bit vague and whispy. I'll work on firming it up.

Any specific parts sprang out at you as particularly bad?

As far as A Glimpse of Truth goes. If he were facing a machina it would let him know weak points, strong points, what weapons in view were capable of. Stuff like that.

It's less a supernatural power and more an instinctual knowledge of how stuff works so it only works on stuff he can detect. He might be able to deduce the location of a hidden weapon but he wouldn't know what that weapon is without seeing it or extrapolating from nearby systems.

It also helps him do magic by helping figure out what is needed to get a desired result. Doesn't mean he can automatically do every spell though. You might know how to do a backflip but that doesn't mean you [i]can[/i] do one. It takes practice.
