Glimpse of the Seer showed the posteramancer the next moment, the immediate, practical future of opening a door or turning a corner. It was readable because it was close. The threads of Fate's Web run cleanly when you are only looking a few seconds ahead. Future Sight asks those threads to carry the posteramancer's vision considerably further than that, and they comply, though not without some difficulty.
A year is a long way down Fate's Web. Threads that are clear and distinct close to the present begin to braid together, separate, cross other threads, and resolve in ways that are not yet fully determined. Fate sees all of them. The posteramancer, looking up to a year ahead, sees many of them, but which threads will actually be walked and which will remain possibilities is something that even Fate has not entirely finished deciding.
When this spell is cast the posteramancer reaches through Fate as far as they currently can - up to a full year down the web - and looks. What they see is genuine future, real possibilities drawn from Fate's own understanding of where things are heading. The ruins ahead, the consequence of the decision being weighed, the shape of what waits at the end of the path currently being walked - all of it becomes visible in some form. However the predictions carry only a a chance of accuracy, the distance making certainty impossible. The chance is the posteramancer's on Insight, with the further ahead they look making the check more difficult. Should the posteramancer fail at the check, the spell still shows a future but its accuracy is far less than certain.The further the vision reaches the more the threads blur together, and what arrives may be one future among several rather than the future that will actually unfold. The posteramancer receives this information and processes it with their characteristic confidence.Â
