<span style="color:red">As Unaka's large hand touches your forehead, your vision is overtaken by a golden flash! You view idyllic, rolling hills of green grass, berry bushes and gnarled oaks tracing the landscape with peaceful ease. After what feels like ages has past, you notice a small people traveling in on ox-drawn caravans, circling them and singing beneath the trees. Time moves more quickly, and you see them dig into the hillsides, embracing the curve of the earth as they burrow like moles, capping their homes with brightly colored circular doors. Your gaze settles on one group relaxing with pipes, a much taller man seated among them. He smiles indulgently at them, popping his pipe out of his mouth to say something you can't quite catch -- and they all laugh. He turns to seriousness, pulling out a leaf and showing it to them, then beginning to put it into a new pipe. Their eyes open with interest as they lean forward, but before you can witness further the vision ends. |

As Unaka's large hand touches your forehead, your vision is overtaken by a golden flash! As the haze dissipates, you see a stream of visions of the blossoming of civilization and the channels of darkness that spring up in between. At first, the tribes gather around fires, almost consumed by the darkness around them, round golden eyes watching from a perch in the pitch black. As the people begin to transport goods, till the ground with their oxen, and erect their towns, the dark shrinks behind torches and lamplights, yet you can see those who hover in the quieter spaces, slipping beyond notice. Subtle hands flick into pockets, silent warriors hide with their bows among the trees. As the bustle of the streets grows, you see the undercurrent rise of those who find their hiding places among the crowd. |

You find yourself in an alley, someone behind you, a knife pressed to your ribs. A tall man passes by on the main street, leading an ox-drawn caravan. He glances over your shoulder, giving a knowing look and a slight nod, his lips tense. As he turns his head and continues past, you feel a sharp tug, then look down to find your coin purse missing and your assailant nowhere in sight. You blink and suddenly find the visions have gone. |

As Unaka's large hand touches your forehead, your vision is overtaken by a golden flash! As the haze dissipates, you find yourself surrounded by a verdant forest, the lush growth appearing both guided and natural. You wander peacefully, idly touching unfurling leaves and taking in the pleasant, floral scents. After a time, you come across what appears to be three people working at the soil, bent over the ground near the roots of a magnificent tree. Yet when you come closer, you view their true work: they tear and pull at the roots, finding the largest and twisting it apart. A shimmering liquid seeps from within, and they hungrily drink it down, completely ignoring the damage they have done. The vision fades. |

As Unaka's large hand touches your forehead, your vision is overtaken by a golden flash! As the haze dissipates, you see a stream of visions of the blossoming of civilization, centered around the magnificent progress of magic. At first, tribal mages begin their etchings of runes into pieces of bone. Slivers of moonlight slice the night air. Then, scholars gather and whisper together, gesturing in arcane patterns. Weapons and battlefields ignite. A great tower stretches into the sky, an influx of robed mages gathering about a lecturer demonstrating an aetheric image of a sparkling ox bowing to a majestic wolf, who bows in return. You feel a sense of charge building against your skin, and a chill overtakes you as you notice a hooded man standing beside you. He gives you a slight nod, as if urging you to go on. You blink and suddenly find the visions have gone. |

Although sparse, signs of life are all around you, from tiny birds feeding on the low-lying plants and insects to the occasional smattering of mountain goats on distant peaks. Suddenly, you stop, observing a creature that feels new to you. Small beings walking on two legs and covered in furred hides are busy at some task, huddled down near the ground. Curious, you approach from behind, observing, and as you peek over their shoulders, witness the sparks of fire glow as they catch in the tinder, the first flames appearing. Startled, you step back. (this is the completed vision that cut off previously.) |

As Unaka's large hand touches your forehead, your vision is overtaken by a golden flash! As the haze dissipates, you see a stream of visions of the blossoming of civilization, accompanied by the paeans of the godly. At first, you see tribal chieftains acting simultaneously as conduits to the gods. Then you watch as a single monk treks the roads, an ox by his side, prayer beads shifting between his fingers. Minor shrines spring up and, as people gather there, you sense the warmth of huddled bodies and see relief on their faces as they begin to break bread and share together. Larger temples in all shapes and sizes begin to mirror the faces of the many gods. A glorious sphere sits at the center of a magnificent city, its shining dome a testament to the work of the Holy. As you gaze upon it, you notice a tall man beside you, admiring it with you, and in his hand appear to be rolled up architectural plans. You blink and suddenly find the visions have gone. |

As Unaka's large hand touches your forehead, your vision is overtaken by a golden flash! You find yourself at a vantage to view a breathtakingly foreign city, its structures built in towering proportions, post and lintel construction creating formidable buildings that pile atop themselves and overtake the landscape in a vast sprawl. From within, an army of Gorbesh soldiers dressed in unfamiliar vestments emerges, approaching what appears to be another group of Gorbesh standing at the border of a great pine forest. Suddenly, you are close, witnessing the leaders speaking to one another, Gnomes appearing at the feet of the each group and staring at one another with eyes both canny and wary. One tall man steps forward from the group on the side of the pines, raising a great hand and speaking stern words you can't quite catch, a look of anger upon his face. Those in his group nod to him in agreement, shooting looks of disdain at the army, then they melt back into the pines. |

As Unaka's large hand touches your forehead, your vision is overtaken by a golden flash! As the haze dissipates, you find yourself entering an opulent suite, magnificent marble walls supporting windows with a sweeping view of a wild, verdant jungle teeming with life. Lounging upon cushions in front of you are three stunning beings of a race alien to you, each with his or her own otherworldly beauty, with bright white hair and long, colorful nails gracing each fingertip. They smirk at you, an obvious newcomer, and one of the women offers you a goblet filled with shimmering liquid, nodding to you to drink. |

As she languidly drapes herself back on the cushions, she takes a sip of her own drink -- and simultaneously the floor begins to heave and shake.

You glance through the windows and watch in horror as the trees wither before you, branches dropping, desiccated. Cracks appear in the floor and walls, snaking through the building -- yet the alien beings continue to laugh and laugh, drinking ever deeper. |

(Urbaj only)
As Unaka's large hand touches your forehead, your vision is overtaken by a golden flash! As the haze dissipates, you see a stream of visions of the blossoming of civilization, oiled by the flow of coin. It begins with tribal groups meeting lone emissaries and trading handfuls of goods, with shocked looks as individuals taste sugar for the first time. Covered caravans etch roads underneath their wagon wheels, pulled by stalwart oxen. Trading posts spring up along routes, and cities bustle with travelers, flashes of coin apparent as they finish their haggling and hand over their goods. You view a street of craftspeople and hear the whirring of the potter's wheel, the singing of the forger's hammer. As you pass by one smith, he looks down at you with a slight nod, just as a pair of oxen rumble past on the street. Within his tongs you see a shining golden coin. You blink and suddenly find the visions have gone.

(Ollythander only)
As Unaka's large hand touches your forehead, your vision is overtaken by a golden flash! You view idyllic, rolling hills of green grass, berry bushes and gnarled oaks tracing the landscape with peaceful ease. After what feels like ages has past, you notice a small people traveling in on ox-drawn caravans, circling them and singing beneath the trees. Time moves more quickly, and you see them dig into the hillsides, embracing the curve of the earth as they burrow like moles, capping their homes with brightly colored circular doors. Your gaze settles on one group relaxing with pipes, a much taller man seated among them. He smiles indulgently at them, popping his pipe out of his mouth to say something you can't quite catch -- and they all laugh. He turns to seriousness, pulling out a leaf and showing it to them, then beginning to put it into a new pipe. Their eyes open with interest as they lean forward, but before you can witness further the vision ends.

(Zynell only)
As Unaka's large hand touches your forehead, your vision is overtaken by a golden flash! As the haze dissipates, you see a stream of visions of the blossoming of civilization and the channels of darkness that spring up in between. At first, the tribes gather around fires, almost consumed by the darkness around them, round golden eyes watching from a perch in the pitch black. As the people begin to transport goods, till the ground with their oxen, and erect their towns, the dark shrinks behind torches and lamplights, yet you can see those who hover in the quieter spaces, slipping beyond notice. Subtle hands flick into pockets, silent warriors hide with their bows among the trees. As the bustle of the streets grows, you see the undercurrent rise of those who find their hiding places among the crowd.
You find yourself in an alley, someone behind you, a knife pressed to your ribs. A tall man passes by on the main street, leading an ox-drawn caravan. He glances over your shoulder, giving a knowing look and a slight nod, his lips tense. As he turns his head and continues past, you feel a sharp tug, then look down to find your coin purse missing and your assailant nowhere in sight. You blink and suddenly find the visions have gone.

(Illiya only)
As Unaka's large hand touches your forehead, your vision is overtaken by a golden flash! As the haze dissipates, you find yourself surrounded by a verdant forest, the lush growth appearing both guided and natural. You wander peacefully, idly touching unfurling leaves and taking in the pleasant, floral scents. After a time, you come across what appears to be three people working at the soil, bent over the ground near the roots of a magnificent tree. Yet when you come closer, you view their true work: they tear and pull at the roots, finding the largest and twisting it apart. A shimmering liquid seeps from within, and they hungrily drink it down, completely ignoring the damage they have done. The vision fades.

(Ghust only)
As Unaka's large hand touches your forehead, your vision is overtaken by a golden flash! As the haze dissipates, you see a stream of visions of the blossoming of civilization, centered around the magnificent progress of magic. At first, tribal mages begin their etchings of runes into pieces of bone. Slivers of moonlight slice the night air. Then, scholars gather and whisper together, gesturing in arcane patterns. Weapons and battlefields ignite. A great tower stretches into the sky, an influx of robed mages gathering about a lecturer demonstrating an aetheric image of a sparkling ox bowing to a majestic wolf, who bows in return. You feel a sense of charge building against your skin, and a chill overtakes you as you notice a hooded man standing beside you. He gives you a slight nod, as if urging you to go on.

(entire room)
As Unaka's large hand touches your forehead, your vision is overtaken by a golden flash! As the haze dissipates, you find yourself trekking across a tundra, a sense of exploration welling within you. Although sparse, signs of life are all around you, from tiny birds feeding on the low-lying plants and insects to the occasional smattering of mountain goats on distant peaks. Suddenly, you stop, observing a creature that feels new to you. Small beings walking on two legs and cover
Quietly, you continue to observe as the beings warm themselves by the fire. Still stunned, you find a feeling is warming in you as well. Eventually, the beings lie down to sleep, and you continue to watch over them, the warmth in you growing. You silently place a few rocks around the fire for them to help shield it from the wind, and tuck their hide blankets over them carefully. The vision fades.

(Nawain only)
As Unaka's large hand touches your forehead, your vision is overtaken by a golden flash! As the haze dissipates, you find yourself trekking across a tundra, a sense of exploration welling within you. Although sparse, signs of life are all around you, from tiny birds feeding on the low-lying plants and insects to the occasional smattering of mountain goats on distant peaks. Suddenly, you stop, observing a creature that feels new to you. Small beings walking on two legs and covered in furred hides are busy at some task, huddled down near the ground. Curious, you approach from behind, observing, and as you peek over their shoulders, witness the sparks of fire glow as they catch in the tinder, the first flames appearing. Startled, you step back. (this is the completed vision that cut off previously.)
Quietly, you continue to observe as the beings warm themselves by the fire. Still stunned, you find a feeling is warming in you as well. Eventually, the beings lie down to sleep, and you continue to watch over them, the warmth in you growing. You silently place a few rocks around the fire for them to help shield it from the wind, and tuck their hide blankets over them carefully. The vision fades.

(Ryeka only)
As Unaka's large hand touches your forehead, your vision is overtaken by a golden flash! As the haze dissipates, you see a stream of visions of the blossoming of civilization, accompanied by the paeans of the godly. At first, you see tribal chieftains acting simultaneously as conduits to the gods. Then you watch as a single monk treks the roads, an ox by his side, prayer beads shifting between his fingers. Minor shrines spring up and, as people gather there, you sense the warmth of huddled bodies and see relief on their faces as they begin to break bread and share together. Larger temples in all shapes and sizes begin to mirror the faces of the many gods. A glorious sphere sits at the center of a magnificent city, its shining dome a testament to the work of the Holy. As you gaze upon it, you notice a tall man beside you, admiring it with you, and in his hand appear to be rolled up architectural plans. You blink and suddenly find the visions have gone.

(Klausette only)
As Unaka's large hand touches your forehead, your vision is overtaken by a golden flash! You find yourself at a vantage to view a breathtakingly foreign city, its structures built in towering proportions, post and lintel construction creating formidable buildings that pile atop themselves and overtake the landscape in a vast sprawl. From within, an army of Gorbesh soldiers dressed in unfamiliar vestments emerges, approaching what appears to be another group of Gorbesh standing at the border of a great pine forest. Suddenly, you are close, witnessing the leaders speaking to one another, Gnomes appearing at the feet of the each group and staring at one another with eyes both canny and wary. One tall man steps forward from the group on the side of the pines, raising a great hand and speaking stern words you can't quite catch, a look of anger upon his face. Those in his group nod to him in agreement, shooting looks of disdain at the army, then they melt back into the pines.

(Saragos only)
As Unaka's large hand touches your forehead, your vision is overtaken by a golden flash! As the haze dissipates, you find yourself entering an opulent suite, magnificent marble walls supporting windows with a sweeping view of a wild, verdant jungle teeming with life. Lounging upon cushions in front of you are three stunning beings of a race alien to you, each with his or her own otherworldly beauty, with bright white hair and long, colorful nails gracing each fingertip. They smirk at you, an obvious newcomer, and one of the women offers you a goblet filled with shimmering liquid, nodding to you to drink.
As she languidly drapes herself back on the cushions, she takes a sip of her own drink -- and simultaneously the floor begins to heave and shake. Her companions laugh and raise their glasses too, and with each sip, the shaking seems to increase! You glance through the windows and watch in horror as the trees wither before you, branches dropping, desiccated. Cracks appear in the floor and walls, snaking through the building -- yet the alien beings continue to laugh and laugh, drinking ever deeper.
Anger boiling in you, you take a step forward toward the beings and dash the liquid of your goblet in the woman's face! Suddenly, you find yourself the size of a mouse, gazing up at their towering forms above you. The brittle woman reaches down and swats you aside, and you hurtle away helplessly. The vision fades.
