Powers of knowledge are always highly valuable. The ability to intuitively understand or remember all information grants both flexibility and great power.

Eidetic Memory

more commonly known as photographic memory, but that is a misleading statement. This ability is the gift of perfect recall. Individuals with this ability never forget anything which is a great gift but, depending on what one has seen, can also be a curse. They can remember every piece of information that their senses have acquired an file them within their minds to be recalled whenever needed. This has many uses, such as learning a new language in an extremely short amount of time, become a virtual walking encyclopedia, or even take snapshots of environments at a particular situation.

Instantaneous Informative Gain

Instantaneous informative gain describes the ability to glance at a source of information and learn its contents in whole, such as a book or a CD. The distinguishing feature of this ability is the fact that a person with the power does not need to make contact with the source of information to use the ability.

Intuitive Aptitude

Intuition is a rather general term for the innate capability to have skills or develop them without study or practice. A person with this ability can find himself faced with a problem and suddenly have the insight to solve it, or performing tasks and knowing just how to do it perfectly. People with this ability can also discern strengths and weaknesses in plans or the weakest points in people or structures.

Omni-linguism

Omni-liguism is the ability to understand any language which includes computer language and written languages. The person can also speak the language back or write in it. This can even go as far where a person can understand hints or secret languages that are technically only reserved for a select group of people. Not to mention the possibility to communicate with animals and insects of different types.

Postcognition

Also known as Retrocognition, Postcognition is the ability to see things from the past that could not have been known by a person by any other means. Much like Precognition, this can manifest itself in the form of 'visions', showing scenes from the past rather than the future, often at moments when they might be important. These might be described as flashbacks, but of scenes and events where the student was not present and has no knowledge of.

Precognition

Ability to perceive the future. It may be expressed in vague dreams while asleep, other times it can be clear and can occur at will. It may also be used as a form of "danger sense" to show the user that they are being threatened and from what direction it is coming from.

Psychometry

Ability to read the history of an object via touching it. A person who possesses this ability can touch a person or an object and suddenly become aware of everything that the person or object has been from the moment it has become existent in the world.

Reflexive Memory

Reflexive memory also known as adoptive muscle mimicry, is a variation on intuitive aptitude but refers mainly to individuals who can replicate physical motions they've witnessed.

Superhuman Awareness

This power entails is the peak of consciousness and awareness. The user can sense their environment (the presence, position and motion of others, etc.), and could tell when the slightest changes occur (a footstep, an increase in heartbeat, atmospheric changes, temperature changes, etc). They also wake up from being unconscious without being groggy, could not get vertigo or be easily disoriented, and often aren’t even subject to psychic mental distortion. It is possible their mind could be dominated, but they would know it was happening.

Superhuman Intelligence

There are many geniuses among humans but their intelligence isn't comparable to the intelligence of the gifted children in Pantheon. These people possess a hyper-mind, being able to solve equations faster than computers, and they can reduce everything into basic numbers and concepts. People with this ability are quite capable of inventing out of this world machinery.

Superhuman Tracking

Ability to track an individual or object through supernatural means; sometimes referred to as "pathfinding." Few people can escape pathfinders and sometimes they can even lead to invisible people and point right at them even though they aren't visible.
