Omniscient lie detection is the ability to detect lies. It is essentially lie detection, but better.
Limits
General Limits
This ability requires active concentration, although it generally activates on its own when first manifesting. The only differences between personal limitations are how much concentration is needed to activate the ability, whether or not the ability always activates when concentration is applied, and how much control over the ability there is.
This ability is like ordinary lie detection, only it doesn't rely on physical changes, which means that even if the "victim" thinks he/she's telling the truth, but is really lying, then the ability will detect that. Every fact that this ability is used on, the ability detects whether the fact is truly a true statement, or a lie, and whether the stater thinks it's a lie or not, therefore, omniscient lie detection.
This ability isn't limited to detecting spoken lies; It can be used on any lie. For example, when reading an oldish book, Future Me could detect a lie that was printed in the book, and also knew that the writer thought it to be true at the time.
This ability, obviously, can only be used on facts. It cannot be used on opinions. Should the user try to use the ability on anything but facts, they get nothing, no matter how good they are at it.
This ability doesn't come with immunity to it's effects, or even to the effects of its lesser version. Future Me was able to detect a lie spoken by Sylar, and vice versa. Additionally, users of the ability can use it on their own statements to determine whether or not they really were lying or not. Future Me was able to cure cancer with this method.
Unlike with ordinary lie detection, users of this ability do not feel a "tingle" when the ability is in use. They just suddenly know the things that omniscient lie detection tells them.
Voldemort
Voldemort is capable of immediately telling when he is being lied to. He may simply have lie detection.
Future Me
My future self is an adept user of this ability, a side effect of his intuitive aptitude. He has complete control over the ability, and can effortlessly use the ability whenever he wants.
Special Effects
The special effects for this ability is the same as its lesser version. However, the vibration is strictly vertical for a true statement, and strictly horizontal for a lie. Also, the vibration around the user's head is strictly vertical if the speaker believes the statement to be true, and strictly horizontal if the speaker believes it to be false. Only the former set of special effects are used when omniscient lie detection is used on the user's statements.
