== 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. |
