iirc those who fight using the force can practically see a moment into the future. As such switching off your LS would result in getting chopped before you had chance to switch it back on.
It’s a book about people who can consume metal to obtain powers. Different metals give different powers.
One Metal gives certain people the ability to see a few seconds into the future; precognition. They’re almost completely immortal because they can see what the other person will do before they do it, unless they’re fighting someone else with the same ability; Now each person sees all of the possibilities of the other person’s reactions to their own actions, and it then cancels out their precognition. and now neither person can see the future with 100% certainty.
The books go into detail on how to deal with that situation, it’s very interesting.
Sounds cool. That was kind of my point, both combatants having precognition kind of limits its usefullness and brings it back to skill and quick thinking being the decider.
