There's More To This (Meta)

Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a good additional ability for a seer to have
Here's a very recently constructed puzzle for you! I'm about 12 months ahead preparing MOATs, even after releasing the MOAT Music Meta Pack (which is still available here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html). But this is a special one so I've brought it forward. The answer to the meta is a good additional ability for a seer to have. Answer & explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=143536#p143536
Future-proofing: If you think you know what you were supposed to do to solve this meta but it didn't work, that is, you constructed a tinyurl but it gave an error, just go straight to https://crosshare.org/crosswords/jPfNPHjXvwbJiy9AV7wd/than-meets-the-eyes which is where the tinyurl link would have taken you.
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!
