Great flavour, lots of precedence in stories. But in practice if abilities didn’t give us info/tantalising hints it was a waste of resources, and if it did then we’d skipped over fun adventure story beats.
On the one hand they are a great way for the GM to give you info and hints. On the other hand, they can feel like they short cut’d fun story-rich adventures to libraries and sages and NPCs with secrets we needed to know etc.
I see it going that way too, which means you’re incentivised to use them to scout by design and disincentivised to use them to scout by practice.
It’s not bad design, per se, it just feels…a bit flat, a bit clunky, a bit meh
There’s something fundamentally fun about the fact that even in tier4 with god like arcane powers, most of the time the wizard Has To Go To The Place To Do The Thing. Maybe that’s why Simulacrum inspires the same feeling, that it’s powerful but is it fun?
Basically we all need to learn how to hack ourselves.
Whatever that may look like for you is fine, so long as the hacks don’t cause secondary problems then whatever works works.
Your Ritual = sit, watch, snack on crap, repeat until ??
So maybe try and replace just one bit, play around, and find one you can bear to white knuckle long enough for it to transform into an enjoyable habit:
Sit -> walk on treadmill / exercise bike / whatever while you watch, or go outside for a walk while you listen to podcasts etc
Watch -> listening to podcasts and music or video audio frees up your eyes to be doing a crazy or hobby while you listen. This also means your hands will be occupied and not snacking.
Snack -> swap in fresh sweet crunchy veg (carrots, sweet bell pepper etc) or popcorn (no butter ya sneaky bugger) etc
Repeat until ??? -> Portion control. You don’t take the whole bag of chips out of the kitchen, you take out a small bowl full and that’s your limit
Pick whichever one you want.
You’re not weak, change is hard. We hate it. But it’s worth it.
I’m the latter. Currently I’m having to use an inflatable bath in my wet room which can only be emptied via a powerdrill-powered water pump into a hose pipe and into the toilet. It’s not ideal, ha

Which character concepts are less cool to play than they seems ?
What about the idea which at first looks pretty cool but end-up at worst not bringing anything to the game at worst being boring to play ?
Do abilities like familiars, and scribe wizard's manifest minds etc make scouting/dungeons unfun? Where's the narrative tension?
