Past, Present and Future slots. It will take some time to build up
before you can resolve the vision with perfect clarity, at which point
you may point at your target whom will die instantly if their health is
below half. If you do not manage to kill your target quickly, the vision
will go out of clarity and will take some time to build up again. The
Vision of Death will only end if you move rooms or kill someone, the
latter of which will also clear your past, present and future visions.

What's it replacing?

Why does it have to be replacing anything?
Unknown2012-01-03 02:05:53
Don't see anyone else walking around with four tertiary options. Poor warriors and monks only get two.
Ayisdra2012-01-03 02:06:57
Its not replacing anything.

We could change that...?

Give Shamanism to Aeromancers the Institute. Weather magic ftw.

Give it to Aeros, so we can still claim to be the weather masters. :/

quicksand + choke = gg
Unknown2012-01-03 02:44:41
Figured they'd add weather powers!
Saran2012-01-03 03:32:43
nvm
Unknown2012-01-03 03:52:29
Important Note: Having the past, present or future trance for a type of trance also gives you the other two at half strength. So, for example, if you do TRANCE CLAW PAST, for example, you get the defensive option at double strength (20 DMP instead of 10) but can still do ENVISION CLAW and ENVISION SHEATHECLAW at normal strength.

Further example: Let's say you have Claws as your past trance,
