== Properties ==
*Does not work with Align.
*Carries no Roundtime, but has a 10 second delay before the prediction takes place.
*Fumbles can leave you prone and stunned.
*No bond characteristics.

== 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.

===Polarity===
A sudden feeling of warmth pervades your soul. - Good prediction.<br>
A shiver runs through your spine as the visions fade. - Bad prediction.<br>
Suddenly your mind receives a numbing jolt! The world fades to black as a giant, grinning skull places its mouth over your head and begins to chew. - Fumble. Causes a large negative curse, prone, stunned, and clears out observation pools. Reduced chance of occurrence for the [[Progeny of Tezirah]].<br>
The fate you see brings a chill to your soul. Your observations of the heavens have served you well. You are able to turn this fate to a positive one. - Turned prediction due to observations.<br>
