Any that remain in the area after their next turn must make a successful Will Power Test each round or take damage again. The spell lasts until nothing in the area is left alive. As this is such a violent and powerful conjuration, all Wizards within a 5-mile radius are aware of the disturbance in the Aethyr that this spell causes. Bright Order Battle Wizards often seek out those using this spell in a careless way, to talk about demarcation in a rather pointed fashion. T he l ore of The h eaVens The Lore of the Heavens is the magic of the sky and stars, of portents, fate, and the movement of heavenly bodies. More commonly known as Astromancy, it is based on manipulation of Azyr , the Blue Wind of Magic. Magisters of this lore are known as Celestial Wizards and they are famed oracles, diviners, and masters of the skies and stars. As they grow in power, Celestial Wizards grow ever more unearthly and dreamlike. Their eyes turn to a glowing blue, and their hair tends towards white. Full of slow, graceful movements, Celestial Wizards seldom hurry anywhere. Lore Skill: Academic Knowledge (Astronomy) o men Casting Number: 4 Casting Time: 1 minute Ingredient: The liver of a small animal (+1) Description: You can divine the future in a limited way by reading the stars. When you cast omen , you can attempt to discover if the timing is favourable or unfavourable for an action you specify. The GM should secretly roll an Intelligence Test for you. If it’s a success, the result of the omen (favourable or unfavourable) is true. If it’s a failure, the result of the omen is false but you think it’s true (this is why the GM rolls instead of you). In either case, the GM should also secretly roll 2d10. This is the number of hours for which the omen holds true. Beyond that time results are too difficult to calculate. The GM must determine, to the best of his knowledge, the true answer when adjudicating this spell. f IrsT p orTenT of a mul Casting Number: 6 Casting Time: Half action Ingredient: A piece of glass (+1) Description: You can read the signs in the air and divine clues as to what the immediate future holds.
