What is offered here is depth on request. The native can concentrate to the exclusion of everything else, can follow a line of enquiry past the point where others lose interest, and can keep what they find to themselves. None of it is compulsory. Many with this contact use it once or twice, to research a purchase or trace a family line, are surprised at how satisfying it was, and then return to the surface and stay there for good.
Where the offer is taken, the native becomes the person who finds the document. Negotiations go their way because they did the reading and know what the other side needs. Difficult conversations are handled without flinching: illness, money, betrayal, the topics most people talk around are approached directly and calmly. There is a natural understanding of motive, which makes for a good interviewer and an unusually hard person to sell anything to.
The waste, when it occurs, is quiet and complete. A sextile makes no noise, so the native never learns that a capacity for depth is uncommon and assumes everyone has it. There can also be a habit of using it selectively and in small ways, chiefly to gain a private advantage in ordinary dealings, which works and costs nothing except the larger use of it. Serious subject matter is what draws the faculty out; nothing else reliably does.
