== Properties ==
*Visual: All properties of the tool are visible.
*Durability: Low
*Bond Rate: High
*Power Precision: Low
*Duration Precision: Low
*Sect Affinity: [[Nomads of the Arid Steppe]]
*Currently the only player made tool, thus allowing them to start at higher qualities then other tools.
*Larger range of possible power/duration modifiers compared to other tools.
*Handles fumbles very differently from other tools - damage is only to one physical quality rather then to all physical qualities, whereas crits remain universal improvement to all physical qualities (Though to a smaller degree then other tools). The net effect is that crits should outweigh fumbles unlike other tools.

== Use ==
Like all prediction tools, before use the mage must know the {{com|ALIGN}} ability (learnable at 4th circle) and have made a successful observation. Furthermore, before the first use, the bones must be {{com|RUB}}bed to bond it to the user. Syntax is to {{com|ALIGN}} <skill/skill set>, and then to {{com|ROLL}} the bones. In order to predict on another the mage must {{com|ROLL}} bones at <target>.

===Example===
''You toss your divination bones on the ground before you.<br>
''The Krr-tich bone stands on end for a moment before falling over.<br>
''It points directly away from you.<br>
''The Sek-rith bone falls flat on the ground.<br>
''It points off to one side.<br>
''The Moon Sphere bounces once.<br>
''It comes to rest and depicts a suit of leather.<br>
''The Sun Disk bone lands white side up.<br>
''You scoop the bones back up.<br>

===Interpretation===
#The direction of the Krr-tich bone indicates the magnitude of the prediction. Pointing closer towards the user indicates a stronger prediction.
#The direction of the Sek-rith bone indicates the duration of the prediction. Pointing closer towards the user indicates a longer prediction.
#The Moon Sphere indicates the skill.
#The color of the Sun Disk indicates the polarity. White is positive, black negative.
#Any additional messages have to do with quality changes, or turned predictions.

So the example given is a very weak, medium duration, positive prediction on the leather armor skill.

===Special===
The Sun Disk teeters for a moment. It tips over to land white side up. Your knowledge of the heavens made this so. - Turned prediction due to observation pool.
The Sun Disk bone teeters for a moment. It tips over to land white side up. Your bond with the bones made this so. - Turned prediction due to Sun Disk attunement.
You feel a strengthening of the bond between you and your bones. - Improvement to one quality.<br>
You feel a weakening of your bond with the bones. - Damage to one quality..<br>
The Sun Disk spins for a moment. - Critical success, improves all physical qualities.<br>
The (bone) seems to have been damaged. - Fumble, damage to quality of specified bone. Sun Disk is the most rare result, but suffers the most damage.<br>
Suddenly all the bones shatter into thousands of tiny pieces!<br>

==Notes==
*RP verbs that can be used with bones: {{com|BABBLE}}), {{com|COUGH}}, {{com|DROP}} (Damage to a random bone), {{com|GASP}}, {{com|HUG}}, {{com|PAT}}, {{com|PULL}}, {{com|PUSH}}, {{com|RUB}}, {{com|SHAKE}}, {{com|TAP}}, {{com|TOUCH}}, {{com|TURN}}, {{com|WAVE}}.
*RP verbs that only work or message differently for Nomads: {{com|CLEAN}}, {{com|KISS}}, {{com|PRAISE}}, {{com|RAISE}}.

===Items Needed===

One of the following base items:<br>
*a boar tusk ([[Wild Boar]])
*a heggarangi boar tusk ([[Heggarangi Boar]])
*a sabre-length ivory fang ([[Sabre-toothed Warcat]])
*a curving ivory fang ([[Long-fanged Warcat]])
*a steed hoof ([[Eidolon Steed]])
*a war mammoth tusk ([[War Mammoth (creature)|War Mammoth]])
*a pair of pothanit tusks ([[Croff Pothanit]])
[[Enchanter's Burin]]<br>
Celestial sigil of the [[Constellation-Ram|Ram]]<br>
Some white and black skaefarees oil (Bought at Throne City)<br>
Sigil of one of the three moons<br>
[[Shadows]], [[Dazzle]] or [[Unleash]] to activate<br>
A knife that can be used for carving<br>

===Steps===
#Scribe [[Constellation-Ram|Ram]] onto the base item.
#Carve your base item. The tusk will now turn into bones. Continue carving your bones until they are complete (This will 17 carves of 15 seconds and 10 carves of 35 seconds for the Moon Sphere). Once you are done carving the Sun Disk you are complete. '''DO NOT''' carve after the Sun Disk or you will destroy the bones.
#Dip your bones in either the white or black oil.
#Dip the bones in the other color of oil twice.
#Dip the bones in the first color oil once more.
#Scribe, activate and bind a sigil from one of the moons onto the bones.

The carving process teaches both astrology and mechanical lore, and most of the process is driven by mechanical lore.<br>
