    Acknowledging that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, have we ever seen MitD use any of these?
    Especially detect thoughts. His childlike nature would lead him to want to know what other people were thinking about him, no?
    It has been suggested that it is how a protean!MitD would have known Tsukiko's ritual was only half of one (he'd have heard RC's thoughts on the matter).

    MitD can see the large wooden thing on the other side of Xykon. He just doesn't seem to think that is a gate. Which makes sense if he thinks gates are wibbly-wobbly translucent holes in the fabric of reality that connect you to other planes, whereas that is a big wooden protection to stop mindless undead from frying themselves in the death arch. (this explanation is not exclusive to Protean!MitD)

    There is a world of imagination
    Deep in the corners of your mind
    Where reality is an intruder
    And myth and legend thrive
