The source of Anthony's preternatural genius is not his own - it is the Lord. Through his brand, the Lord offers visions and insights to Anthony: never anything precise or anything complete, but enough that they allow him to make leaps of logic impossible to normal people, and to think, act, and respond quicker than is humanly possible, as his thoughts are completed by the Lord in the same span as he has them.
