Glimpse of the Seer

This spell is a part of the Crystal Ball spell chain and is found in the Crystal Ball rune stone.

The Crystal Ball showed the posteramancer something, it was blurry, indistinct, real but unreadable. It was enough to know the future was there. Glimpse of the Seer is what happens when the posteramancer learns to actually look at it. To actually start to pull away the confusion of what is to come and see clearly the fate right before them.

Not far. Not deeply. The posteramancer is not yet ready for the long threads of Fate's Web, the branching possibilities that stretch out across months and years. What Glimpse of the Seer offers is something more modest and considerably more practical. It shows the immediate future, the next moment, the direct and specific consequence of whatever action is about to be taken. Open that door and this is what is on the other side. Round that corner and this is what is waiting. Pick up that relic and this is what it does to the hand that holds it. It is a small window. But it looks into exactly the right moment.

When this spell is cast the posteramancer reaches through Fate for just a fraction of a second and sees what immediately follows whatever action they are contemplating. The vision is clear. It is not the blurry colors of the Crystal Ball but an actual glimpse, specific and reliable. The chest is trapped. The corridor is empty. The artifact is cursed. Whatever the immediate future holds, it is visible now, before the choice is made and before the consequence arrives. The posteramancer absorbs this information with the quiet satisfaction of someone whose habit of knowing things before they happen is finally beginning to be earned rather than performed.
