I struggled to come up with an item or action that would be well-suited for a sapience spell, as I don’t have any tattoos or jewelry or birthmarks, but I’ve come up with something that I am happy with: My trigger is cleaning my glasses. This has the benefit of not seeming entirely random, as I can feel a metaphorical connection between wiping away smudges in my vision and introspecting to see myself and my mind more clearly (there is an added benefit of reminding myself of Klaus Baudelaire. I always admired how the Baudelaires have unique behaviors they perform when they’re getting “in the zone” to use their unique skills to solve their problems—you know something serious is about to go down when Klaus cleans his glasses or Violet puts her hair up).
I’ve chosen to focus on the ideas of clarity and vision in my mantra, and the goal of my Sapience Spell is simply to assess whether I am satisfied with my current actions, motivations, and plans: “See clearly: what am I doing? Answer honestly: why? Looking at this moment from tomorrow, consider: How will I use the rest of today?”
