The Holy infusion of the Pattern of Prophecy, Tezirah's Veil augments the caster's existing connection to the plane of probability. What teleologic sorcerers then do with this augmentation varies, either briefly retaining the enhanced foresight but risking direct exposure to probability itself, or shunting the augmentation into another to briefly gift them with prophecy. However, this gift is usually a tainted one as mundane minds are oft unprepared to face destiny so vividly. |
