Terror's Warning

This spell is a part of the Frightful Touch spell chain and is found in the Frightful Touch rune stone.

Presence does not only warn. Sometimes warning alone is insufficient. Sometimes what Presence senses coming requires more than a raised hair or a chill down the spine. Sometimes it requires the target to be genuinely, completely ready. Terror's Warning is Presence deciding that the time for subtle signals has passed.

The timoramancer reaches through Presence and lets it speak directly to the target's body, not a feeling this time but a preparation. Every sense sharpens. Perceive and Insight increase by the timoramancer's Arcana as Presence opens the target's awareness to everything around them, every detail that might matter suddenly visible and readable in a way it wasn't a moment before. React increases by the same as Presence accelerates the gap between perceiving a threat and responding to it - the body primed to move before the conscious mind has finished processing what it saw. This is what fear's warning was always meant to do at its best. Not paralyze. Not overwhelm. Prepare. The target does not know precisely what is coming as Presence rarely deals in specifics. But they will be ready for it when it arrives. Presence has made certain of that.
