Ne-Si - Perceiving
* Ne - Exploring Possibilities
* Energetic exploration of ideas and possibilities by tapping into different contexts looking for connections.
* Generalization - Broad
* Abstract
* Present and future
* Scarlet Witch Keys:
* Reality-disrupting hex-spheres that alter the probability field
* Random result with a negative probability - bad luck
* Short range within LoS
* Early hexes were subconscious, accidental
* Learned to focus hexes with gestures
* When overextended, the hexes can backfire
* She now has Chaos magic given to her from Chthon - Chthon means subterranean. Her power comes from making real what's hidden under the surface.
* Ne lets her see new possibilities for positive action
* Si - Supporting Traditions
* Focused recovery of specific experiential facts and details used to compare current
* Specialized - Focused
* Tangible.
* Outside anchored in continuity of Past
* Scarlet Witch Keys:
* The training by a mentor that was helpful but not quite enough
* Although the Scarlet Witch has been trained in basic sorcery techniques, she lacks the specialized mystic training required to fully control her power.
* FiSi - Constant re-living of traumatic experiences with no perceived way of dealing with them build up too much introversion. Her psyche lashes out and she goes crazy - causing damage to everyone around her.
* Going back to her past - time traveling, returning to Wundagore
* Forfeits the external reality and returns to her inner world
INFP
* Many INFPs believe in karma and the idea that when good things happen, there might be a price to pay
* Responsible for hidden motives and intentions, even if their behaviors exceed people's expectations
