In the comic the question “ how does a seer see ?” Is asked by doc scratch to rose. But here’s my question, how does a mage know ?

While the Mages and Seers are both Know Classes and you could say they Know in different ways? Given the examples in Canon, it seems that Seers seek out information about what they need from a source- Their environment, the Gods, Skaia, the Consorts- While a Mage seems to be more naturally insightful about it- Sollux hearing the voices of the Dead, Meulin merely knowing which pairings would go better. So while Seers can have that gut feeling- Rose knowing the way to send the Meteor- And Mages can seek information, you could say they’re predisposed to have that little divide.
