The cons outweigh the pros by a long shot. It's not really worth it imo this seems more like a debuff than a rework. Also they aren't completely blind just like how blind people irl aren't completely blind. It's to a certain degree iirc (leaving it already up to the players choice how blind you really want to be) and they still see certain outlines or refractions of lights maybe but they just can't see from far away thus their hit and evade penalty from ranged attackers but buff against opponents in 1 tile range. You can already RP some of these things IC without having to compromise anything mechanic wise. I assume the reason Oracles aren't involved insanely with foretelling the future like that is because it would allow people to metagame extremely easily. I think they're perfectly fine the way they are mechanic wise they can just use little small tweaks like being able to foreshadow the weather or Iahsus and maybe black beast events and such. Another really interesting idea would be making them expert map users, just by touching/using it they can already "feel" (see rather) where the chest is buried thus giving them a much larger insight on hidden objects/staircases and chests in dungeons. Perhaps an internal compass.
