Psst! Tiruin! You should cast your vote for Steampunk Victorian Era England! We can do cool things... Like get Steam-powered Power Armor... Or something!

Shaun looked around inside of the Time Machine, for he was sure that's what it was. Not sure how he was sure, but he was. He had just dragged his things inside, at least they felt like his, and now he had to ponder... What to do? Surely the others wouldn't take much longer, and then they had to go. He could feel memories slowly leaking back into his mind... Yes, he was Shaun O'Malley... Ah, childhood memories. He snapped back out of his memories, and moved around inside the machine. The controls were over here, yes, and there was a crawlspace under the floor. Of course, the door was blue in homage to a certain show he watched when he was younger.
Look around the machine.
Destination: Steampunk Victorian England!
(Aside from the door, I'll go with what others want on the look of the machine ^^)

Varron sighed, trying to pull back that sense of awareness that came from clairvoyance, in an attempt to reach it without meditation. While he did that, he mulled over the rest of what he had discovered.
One: Utilising Clairvoyance, he could view other planes, namely Hyperspace - the plane spacecraft moved through to eliminate the long process of regular space travel, or atleast that was the common conception - and Hypospace..? Atleast, he assumed it was some sort of opposing plane to Hyperspace. Possibly with opposite properties, which was an interesting branch of the classic Third Law.
Two: He could create wormholes. Or something, which allowed access to these other planes. Though miniature, it may be possible to expand the ability itself to allow for quick transport of small objects, mimicking hyper-space-craft travel.
Three: He could create god-damned antigravity! The force behind the supposed expansion of the galaxy, if those theories were to be believed. Though what he could do with it that he couldn't already he wasn't sure...
All of these thoughts were intended to distract him, although intentionally distracting onesself isn't usually a good idea, Varron thought trying to multitask like this would prevent him from slipping into a state of meditation.
Complete the use of 'Clairvoyance' without meditation, and entertain self with more thoughts about magic.

Not all at once... Look, I'll just search the adjacent tile to the east.

Varron opened an eye. He had a message! He quickly tapped the app, opening the message.
After reading it over with a keen eye, Varron started to type a message back.
Varron thought the overtones of humour in the message were better left as they were, un-deleted. He closed his eyes again, trying to slip back into his meditative state, to resume the process of becoming clairvoyant.

Fascinating. Is there anything else in that book that could help us? For example, any known limits on what magic is capable of, or perhaps an easily learned spell or two as an example that we could all practice?

I'll let you know if I find anything. Oh, fun fact! According to this book, magic is a disease.
Wait, that's not a good description. It's like a disease, or something. To word it... well, normally, it passes between people. According to it, 90% of magic users who started using magic after... twenty years? Share at least one major ability with one of their friends. So we might be able to swap spells... share 'em around. Stuff like that.
Man, now I put that into perspective, I make magic sound like some sort of venereal disease... Note to self, avoid being socially awkward when talking about magic.
P.S: Would you mind telling the others? About the sharing-magic and that I'll note them if anything useful is in the book. I would, but I'm currently trying to become clairvoyant. I know, it sounds stupid, but it'll work. I hope.

In that case, begin searching further and further away from my home.

"Truely interesting..." Varron flipped through the pages, curiously read as much as he could before flipping to the next page. Ideas formed in his head, all of theories related to what he was reading. After a few chapters, he remembered he had a messenger app. He quickly drafted a message to all of his... well, friends.
With that done, a thought occurred to him. With his natural control over Gravity, and the ability to create false Gravity, wouldn't it be possible to conceptually bring that over to a sense of... well, force in general? If he could create force, why not sense it? It would, essentially, allow him to be aware of... everything happening that submits to the laws of physics around him. With this theory in mind, he set down the book, (making sure to mark his page), and began to meditate, trying to open his mind to his surroundings, and feel the forces pushing in on them, the gravity in pulling them to the planet, the reactionary forces pushing back up, the kinetic energy made by other creatures around him in their movements.
Action: Read more of book, send message to team, then try and become clairvoyant.

Umm, not sure what to say. Apparently, Magic makes the natural laws of the world break itself. It's really interesting! Currently reading a book detailing how and why Magic seems to create a loophole through which Magic grows, consequentially making it so that for some reason specific laws and rules do not apply to this self-replicating process... Unless I'm reading it wrong, this means that Magic is more powerful than - dare I say it - we thought.

Head to a (the?) library to research magical theory...
As I see it, Varron is kind of a bridge between a fighter and a utility. He's not skilled enough to be pure fighter, nor are his skills really use for much other than simple things currently. So I'm going to do some research on magic.
