Can scholar get a spell or trait called Scan?

[Ramien]

But would people really use it? It would be a one and done spell since people would learn the boss' rotations/attacks by heart. Besides, nothing in this game is so complex that you need an ability just to learn what an attack does; all the game is "keep away from the glowy AOEs that do big owies and sometimes something else that makes you sick". Almost every class so far has the one or two abilities that no one ever uses due to them being overly situational or completely useless at the current end game, so this Scan ability is nothing but a novelty for the sake of "tradition".

Hey, sometimes there's 'get in the glowy AoEs before they go boom,' but you're correct that there is no need for a Scan ability in the game as it stands. It could be turned into a debuff of some kind that increases damage dealt to the target, reduces evasion, but I'm not sure if that's really within the scope of the original ability, or if it should be just be given a different name.
