You perceive an omen about the results of a course of action a creature within range plans to take in the near future. Exotic materials like Mandrake root, scented oils from distant lands, or soil from a famous diviner’s grave provide improved foresight, allowing you to glimpse up to 90 days into the future, as shown on the table below.
| Material Components and Time | ||
|---|---|---|
| Value | Example Material Component | Future Time |
| 0 sp | Sand, candle, chamomile | 30 minutes |
| 5 sp | Blessed soil, laurel leaves, incense, entrails (chicken) | 1 day |
| 15 sp | Entrails (goat) | 30 days |
| 100 sp | Entrails (cow) | 60 days |
| 300 sp | Entrails (humanoid) | 90 days |
| 500 sp | Exotic soil, oil, or plant | 90 days |
Rather than using material components, you can use a focus item such as a set of bones or a deck of cards worth at least 25 gp. Focus items are not consumed in the spellcasting and can be reused.
| Focus Item Value | Future Time |
|---|---|
| 25 gp (500 sp) | 30 minutes |
| 50 gp (1000 sp) | 1 hour |
| 100 gp (2000 sp) | 1 day |
| 250 gp (5000 sp) | 1 week |
| 500 gp (10,000 sp) | 1 month |
| 1000 gp (20,000 sp) | 3 months |
The GM chooses the omen from the Omens table, below.
| Omen | For results that will be… |
| Weal | Good |
| Woe | Bad |
| Weal and Woe | Good and bad |
| Indifference | Neither good or bad |
Dream Omens.You might also perceive this omen in a dream the next time you take a Long Rest after casting this spell. If you see plants and water, it is taken as Weal. If you see fire and iron in your dream, it is understood to be Woe.
The spell doesn’t account for circumstances, such as other spells or random chaos, which might change the results.
If you cast the spell more than once before finishing a Long Rest, there is a cumulative 25 percent chance for each casting after the first that you get no answer.
