Effect
Trigger: An ally within Near range is about to take a turn on The Count.
The ally gains +1 Action on their turn (they may take two Actions instead of one). However, their next turn is delayed by +4 Ticks.
Steps
Tick delay reduced by 1 per Step (minimum +1 Tick delay).
Special
This is the Seer’s primary action-economy buff. The temporal debt is real — the ally acts faster now but slower later. Timing the payoff is critical. If combat ends before the delayed turn, the debt is forgiven. Subject to the Seer Reaction Convention.
