This is a sphere of Nevernal energy concerned with the mind and its workings. Not only will the skilled diviner be able to foresee a threat, or feel a premonition, but also mentally intrude upon another's thoughts and feelings.
Uses[]
There are various points in the game where a use of divination will yield up valuable information about a situation or its surroundings. Divination is checked often, though the experience rewards are usually low and the information obtained is not always useful.
Combat Effects[]
Both Divination effects can be resisted.
Melee Scry[]
Divination's Instant Effect is called Melee Scry. It allows you to avoid your foe's attack and at the same time provides a bonus to MR.
When it's cast successfully, the combat screen will give this description:
- You channel your powers of divination to foresee and dodge your foe's attack
- +(see chart) to your Melee Rating this round.
Then you will attack as normal.
Sword of Thought[]
Divination's Sustained Effect is called Sword of Thought. While it's active, you will see this description:
- You tear into your enemy's mind with a powerful telepathic attack [... paralyzing your foe!]
Randomly each round, this will either paralyze your foe (optional text above) OR provide a bonus to MR:
- +(see chart) to your Melee Rating this round.
You will continue to attack normally.
The MR bonus range is the same for both effects:
Div. Level | MR Bonus* |
1-39 | 1-6 (1d6) |
70-79 | 3-18 |
*The numbers given are the results of testing. The value in parentheses is the dice roll which most closely matches the results of testing.
