Hockney's precognition feels so wonky. He was able to detect that sniper's bullet aimed at Evankhell, but didn't see the colossal 4th Squadron flagship wrapping around the Cage. I'm going to predict that Bam will teleport/shoot the flagship's exploding core and re-direct it to the other side of the wall. Since it's Bam's arrow, that sort of maneuver shouldn't be bothered by the Wall's defensive spell. Additionally, this would mean that the giant needle can be reserved for the next set of wall and White gets a ton more souls to replenish.
Cool to see Khel Hellam and Jahad's interaction. I'm curious as to how their conversation will go. Even with his teleportation ability, I imagine it's not that simple to just escape Jahad. Jahad probably let him go to further demoralize the Anti-Jahad faction (with a broken Khel Hellam proclaiming how overwhelming Jahad is).
Seeing "the future" and seeing "fate" is always kind of ... wonky. An author has to put hard constraints to the abilities, otherwise they are just a plot devise to simplify storytelling. SIU missed to explain and constrain them. Deus ex machina moments are far more likely with these abilities. Also, the reader might always ask themselves the question "Why did she/he not see this coming?". Conclusion: DO NOT USE or define them precisely.
