The demon sage Barkja is a purveyor of knowledge, a characteristic oft shared with his disciples. One who has dedicated herself to his guidance will gain insight into the divination of past, present and future, learning to study each of those as they pertain to an individual. This divination requires the studying of entrails; sufficiently-powerful entrails must be used for the target creature, who need not be in the same room as the caster.
Divining the past informs the caster of all the areas the target has been in recently, in no particular order. This is generally only useful against other adventurers.
Divining the present informs the caster of the details of the target's group, and listing of effects.
Divining the future is always a tricky business, but a successful casting will fill the mage with subconscious knowledge of the target's future as it pertains to the caster. This will grant the caster the ability to evade attacks made by the target should they fight, at the cost of a small amount of mana per successful evasion. Remembering a future is difficult, and no caster may remember more than one future at a time; furthermore, he must wait for his memory to fade before divining another future. Past and present divination may be used at any time.
