Gazing into the void, the Nanoseer can commune and channel the power of the long-dead Empyreals. When channeled, these beings bestow a variety of thematic abilities based on the chosen pairing.

The Oblivion skill contains general abilities and five groups (represented by different Empyreals): The Conqueror; The Traveller; The Architect; The Progenitor; and The Sunderer.
