==Syntax== |
|||
PREDICT is a Moon Mage exclusive verb which allows your character to predict the future for various ends. |
|||
USAGE:<br> |
|||
The major uses of PREDICT require that you first make celestial observations. This is done by OBSERVE <object> (for PREDICT FUTURE) or STUDY SKY (for PREDICT EVENT) before you use the PREDICT command. You may optionally use the observational commands multiple times to build up a powerful prediction. |
|||
Observation Based:<br> |
|||
PREDICT EVENT <person> - Gives the target a vision about current events on Elanthia. <person> is optional and will target yourself if not used. This command requires special training from your fellow Moon Mages before it can be used.<br> |
|||
PREDICT FUTURE <person> <skillset> - Gives the target a cryptic vision about his immediate future, which may effectively amplify or curse one of his skills. Valid options for <skillset> are Defense, Lore, Magic, Offense and Survival. |
|||
General Use:<br> |
|||
PREDICT ANALYZE <person> - Evaluates the target's aura to determine what kind of predictions are affecting him. <person> is optional and will target yourself if not used.<br> |
|||
PREDICT STATE <skillset|event> - Evaluates how much you have learned toward performing an observation based prediction. Valid options are Defense, Event, Lore, Magic, Offense and Survival.<br> |
|||
PREDICT WEATHER - Predicts upcoming changes in the weather. You must be outdoors to use this ability.<br> |
|||
PREDICT <emote> <text> - Allows you to intone a passage of your choosing. You may seperate your text into multiple lines by using a semicolon (;). |
|||
Valid emotes (optional): |

==Events== |
|||
*Requires 10th circle. Learned by having an event predicted on you by another Moon Mage with this ability. |
|||
*Predicting on other guilds will sometimes result in visions related to their guilds that would otherwise be unavailable. |
|||
*The event pool fills drastically faster at night. |
|||
*The chance of a successful prediction is related to how full the pool is, but since there is no round time for a failed attempt the command can be spammed until a prediction is successful. |
|||
*A decent source of astrology experience, both from the studies and the prediction itself. |
|||
''You focus inwardly searching for insight into your future. |
|||
''As your vision clears you see an Elf lecturing a group of students, gesticulating wildly at a variety of star charts and divination tools. A cracked and bloodied sandstone bowl lies next to an unconscious and bleeding student. A fierce growl comes from the east, followed by the sound of breaking glass and a muffled cry. |
|||
==Future== |
|||
*See [[Visions]] for full mechanics. |
|||
*A very good source of astrology experience, also teaches some scholarship and perception. |
|||
==Analyze== |
|||
*Attempts to view the active predictions on the target. Contests Astrology and Power Perception vs target's circle, strength and number of predictions. |
|||
*Both [[Distant Gaze]] and particullarly [[Aura Sight]] are useful in this skill since they bonus the relevant skills. |
|||
*Roundtime generally increased with the number of predictions, but fairly random. |
|||
*Inaccuracy only exists without power/duration readings and will increase with skill but almost always remain to some degree. This can actually be useful through multiple uses to get a general sense of where the prediction lies within the range. |
|||
*Detects boosts from a [[CJ|Celestial Jewelry]] enchantment as if they were a prediction. |
|||
*A very good source of astrology experience and a decent source of power perception experience. Will only teach if at least one prediction is active, and experience is constant beyond that. The timer is about 100 seconds. |
|||
''You immediately will your consciousness deep into the flows of fate. A few images materialize before your mind's eye and you pick out the following:<br> |
|||
<br> |
|||
''A translucent aquamarine spellbook that resolves into a ball of flame. It pops out of existence the moment you notice it. An Elothean man stands immediately before you. Something about him seems strangely familiar. |
|||
===Skill=== |
|||
*Based on effective skill, not level of success. Controls the room message. |
