/library Foresight
A rare gift usually hidden deep within mage guilds, only the truly experienced possess the neccessary knowledge and wisdom to cast such a spell. By concentrating a strong amount of magical force, a truly skilled mage may perceive of an oncomming foe moments before their arrival. During the heat of battle, the forewarning of more oncoming foes could mean the difference between life and death.
Mana Cost: 120
Stamina: 2
Duration: 5 minutes or until triggered
Notes: If other mages pass through the barrier, you are alerted, but it is not shut down. You must be within 5 squares of the square you cast on to recieve a message.
It can only be casted on one square at any given moment.
Messages:
Casting- You cast Foresight here, creating a mysterious magical barrier.
When someone walks through- Someone has passed by: The magical barrier has been breached, it is no longer effective.
Mage Passing Through: A powerful magical being has bypassed; the barrier is still up.
After five minutes- The magical force has worn off, the barrier is no longer effective
The basic opperation of this spell is a warning. You cast it on a square, creating a magical 'barrier' that lasts for five minutes or until someone walks through it, whichever comes first. When a mage walks through, one would receive an alert, but the barrier is not broken. This spell only tells you that people have passed through; it does not reveal name/number of people. This could become useful for hunting with Mages and would be a reason to keep a mage in your party for boss trips.
One could argue that this spell is overpowered, however...
- 5 squares is nothing
- Does not give you names of people who pass through
- Does not give you number of peopl passing through
- High magic cost prevents it from being overused
