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

1. The first line indicates the skillset of the prediction.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. The fourth line indicate the polarity.
5. 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.
