[ All of what Urianger describes sounds nothing like what Bruno knows himself. Sure, he could use sand and fire to help control his intentional visions, but that had been learned through trial and error as he got older. Would it have been better had he been able to study other methods? The same? Perhaps it wouldn't have mattered, in the end. ]

Sort of. I don't get random visions as much now that I'm older, although I figured out how to do it on purpose early on. Would've been pretty useless otherwise, yeah?
