Visions
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
For general information on how predictions work see the Prediction article.
The seer must have made a successful observation in the relevant skillset. The syntax is PREDICT Future <target> <skillset>, 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 PREDICT command or be otherwise hindered.
Example
- You see yourself fiddling with a small object.
- You see a rabbit being roasted on a spit.
- You see some fish spawning in a river.
- 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.
- You sense this vision involves the astrology skill.
Interpretation
- The first line indicates the skillset 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.

Polarity
A sudden feeling of warmth pervades your soul. - Good prediction.
A shiver runs through your spine as the visions fade. - Bad prediction.
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.
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.

- If pressed for time a tool can be used during the 10 second delay without cancelling the vision (Though it must use a different skillset).
