What divinatory/clairsentience effects (magic, psionics, other) would be the most useful, what do they do, and why would they be the most useful IRL?
A number of the powers on the seer discipline power list would be quite useful.
Clairvoyant Sense is great for spying on remote locations. It enables scry-and-die tactics well (assuming you have access to other effects IRL), and it'd let you answer all sorts of questions, from "What is the weather like outside today?" to "Which of those stars have planets that contain life?" It'd let you learn computer passwords and padlock combinations, and it'd be useful for seedier activities, if you're into that.
Object reading and sensitivity to psychic impressions would be useful for learning about people who touched certain items or events that took place in an area. It'd be useful for a lot of things that clairvoyant sense would tell you, except for things that happened in the past, instead of the present.
Second chance and fate of one would allow you to have much better luck in tight situations. Have you ever been nearly hit by a car but just barely jumped out of the way in time? These powers allow for that when you otherwise would've gotten squished.
Hypercognition and metafaculty would give you a lot of insight about people in the world, which could help you if you were, say, targeted by the mob and needed to know who to hire an assassin for. Or hypercognition might help you win the lottery by randomly guessing at numbers.
Any other divination/clairsentience effects (from any source) that would be particular useful to have in the real world?
