You find that mastering this technique allows you to easily read while walking and quickly recall information.

While you maintain this stance, reading does not cause you to become distracted. You do not take penalties to Perception checks due to distraction while this stance is active nor do you provoke attacks for retrieving, putting away, or reading books, tomes, or non-magical scrolls.

Your ability to quickly find, recall, and analyze information is greatly improved while you maintain this stance. You gain a +2 insight bonus to all skill checks made to Recall Information while in this stance. This bonus increases to +4 at initiator level 9, and to +6 at initiator level 17.
