Harry channels the vigilance and resolve of Ilya Muromets, relying not on sight, but on his connection to the world around him. As he exerts his mind and focuses, his heightened senses allow him to perceive the area in ways others cannot. Over the course of a minute, he methodically “feels” the space around him—not physically, but through vibrations, airflow, and the resonance of his surroundings.

A faint tension in the air reveals the presence of a tripwire, while subtle shifts in pressure signal hidden dangers or lurking enemies.
