Visions

Along my travels throughout the Dominions, I sometimes draw pictures of what I see and experience. These are some of those things.
Dantii, as he walks down a village street in Yomi, seconds before all Hell broke loose.
This, or something like it, will become a common sight in the future...
Alice? What are you doing here?
A mid-tech rebreather mask with comms and a targeter.
A ship, sailing softly passed a sunken pyramid, at sunrise.
A skycutter from the Nightlands.
A guy I met sometime in 5 AW.
Another 5th dominion punk, stole my watch!
A dagger-pistol of unknown manufacture.
I hope you enjoyed these glimpses into the Dominions, until next round...

FAQ: Divination

I was once asked:

Divination:
Add the DoS of the [applicable sage lore] check to the next check or war made by the caster. This spell requires a physical component (or medium).

I have some questions:

1> Is it possible to "chain" divinations, such that the DoS of a successful divination check is added to a divination check on a subsequent turn, etc., until some great gob of bonus is either expended on some other task, or, more likely, tragically wasted when the diviner rolls the inevitable critical failure (DOOOOHH!!!)?

2> Does divination require the expenditure of at least one mana?

3> The description of divination for Aeromancy omits the requirement for the physical component. Is this an oversight, or do Air Elementalists not require them?


Answers:
1> No and yes. Making a scry check with divination will give you a modifier to the next check or war, so if the next check was another divination you would add the previous modifier (to make a bigger modifier). Multiple divinations from multiple casters are cumulative.

2> Divination is a "use of power", therefore pool must be expended.

3> Correct, Air elementalists do not need a medium, (as they read the air, water elementalists use water).

Hope that helps!
