DANGER."A "prophet" of some sort, a diviner, who was absolutely USELESS in a campaign - he supposedly could divine all sorts of things, but in the end, he'd just say this whenever asked for a prediction - so from then on, whenever anyone uses any sort of divination spells, this is the standard catch-phrase, said aloud, holding a hand to ones head, eyes closed...</blockquote>
