General prediction info: |

== Properties == |
|||
*Does not work with {{Com|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. |
|||
Multiple observations will increase power (up to 30% of skill + tool modifier), duration, and likelihood of a positive prediction. Multiple predictions on the same skill will merge into a single prediction.<br> |
|||
== Use == |
|||
The seer must have made a successful observation in the relevant skill set. The syntax is {{com|PREDICT}} Future <target> <skill set>, which will cause a 10 second delay before the prediction takes during which the seer must not be stunned, use any other variants of the {{com|PREDICT}} command or be otherwise hindered. |

===Example=== |
|||
''You see yourself fiddling with a small object.<br> |
|||
''You see a rabbit being roasted on a spit.<br> |
|||
''You see some fish spawning in a river.<br> |
|||
''The fate you see brings a chill to your soul.<br> |
|||
''Your observations of the heavens have served you well.<br> |
|||
''You are able to turn this fate to a positive one.<br> |
|||
''You sense this vision involves the astrology skill.<br> |

===Interpretation=== |
|||
#The first line indicates the skill set of the prediction. |
|||
#The second line indicates the magnitude of the prediction. Usually heat is the indicator but powerful predictions can manifest as natural disasters and other powerful natural occurrences. |
|||
#The third line indicates the duration of the prediction. Not as clear cut as magnitude, generally the time spawn of the vision correlates to the duration of the prediction. |
|||
#The fourth line indicate the polarity. |
|||
#The final line only appears sometimes (And will appear with more frequency as the prediction counter is increased) and indicates the skill effected. |
|||

|||
So the example given is a moderate strength, short duration, turned prediction on the astrology skill. |

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> |

General prediction info:
Multiple observations will increase power (up to 30% of skill + tool modifier), duration, and likelihood of a positive prediction. Multiple predictions on the same skill will merge into a single prediction.
