Doomcaller

The stars read not as guidance but as a countdown to the world's end, a doom preached under open night skies to whoever will listen.

Automatic:
A trained eye for the occult instantly sorts strange magic into mind-twisting, fortune-bending, or secret-revealing categories.
Esoteric study of psychic phenomena and forgotten mysteries lets a character make sense of the paranormal and spot occult magic in play.

In the stars you see not guidance or wisdom but a twinkling door to the impending end of all things. You might have been raised in this ideology, gleaned it from superstition, or received a prophetic vision. Regardless, you've come to view the stars and whatever power they evoke as a path to doom, a curse to warn the masses. Others might spurn your warnings, while some might join you in enlightening the ignorant. To you, there's no greater truth than the coming end, and you know that whatever the cause for it will come from the stars-or perhaps the stars are just a gate to a more terrifying beyond.
