This spell enables the caster to predict a coming volcanic eruption or earthquake within 1d6 days of its occurrence. The caster can also accurately predict the epicenter of the event within 100 square yards. The spell is usually cast by meditating, but if an earthstoker is in an area where the event will occur, the knowledge might simply come. The caster can predict only those events occurring within the area of effect—and only natural events, not those created by magic.

The material components are two lodestones that must be thrown together like dice; they are not consumed in the casting of the spell.
