Description

Foresight is composed of a cadence of words of power that causes the targets to be 'smeared out' in time. This is a quite disorienting effect, but since the targets have the advantage of seeing everything that happens several times as they move through their 'smeared out now', there are no bad side effects outside of the targets head.

Once Foresight is cast, the subjects can see the results of their actions, or impending danger or harm, before it actually happens. This grants several useful effects.

Subjects of this spell are never Surprised or Flat-Footed.

In addition, the spell gives you a general idea of what action you might take to best protect yourself and gives you a +2 Arcane Bonus to AC and on all saving throws.

When making a melee or ranged attack, you receive a +2 arcane bonus to all to-hit rolls, and the DC's of any effects you produce (spells, or other class features, racial abilities, item effects, etc) are also increased by 2.

As a free action each round during combat, the subjects of this spell may make a 5-foot step, even if they have already moved, or made a normal 5-foot step.

As a free action once during the duration of this spell, you may 'borrow' from your smeared-out state and perform a standard action as a free action. You may do this even during rounds when you have spent an action point. Doing so causes the effects of the spell to 'collapse', ending the duration.

This spell lays an arcane charge on its target(s). If the targets are something other than you or another creature (such as an object or area), the spell lays an arcane charge on you, the caster. Targets which already have an arcane charge present must choose which to keep if the new spell has the same charge type. Only one arcane charge can ever be present on a target at a time.
