Visions Of The Past Through Mana.
He decided to get to the bottom of the anomaly that is the sheets of paper and figure out how they came to be. His divine sense came out of him through his eyes instead of directly into the world through his soul. So he senses the world through his eyes, not through his soul. It is a technique that ocular bloodlines use that unifies the power of his powerful soul and his unique eyes. He activated this technique and focused his eyes on the strings of mana within the sheets of paper. eyes can see mana and his soul can sense mana. But his eyes can be blocked sometimes by mana itself. It is like a wall of mana. His eyes can see the wall and can even see through it but only to a certain level. It gets to a point where he can't see beyond it. His soul comes to assist by pushing aside or parsing what he is seeing as he is seeing it so that his eyes won't be clogged up with too much sensory information.
