You can sense any temporal anomalies in the area of effect. Temporal anomalies include creatures or objects that have time traveled, natives of the Temporal Energy Plane, spell or powers that affect the flow of time, and creatures or objects that are associated with a past event that caused history to change. Each round of concentration reveals different information, as detailed below.

      Round 1: Presence or absence of temporal anomalies.      Round 2: Number of different anomalies and the intensity of the strongest.      Round 3: The intensity and location of each anomaly.

The power fails if cast in an area with no time, such as Temporal Prime, or the astral plane.

Intensity: An anomaly’s intensity depends on the amount of disruption it is likely to cause the continuum by its presence.

      Event : Dim      Power: Small change, no change to continuity      Spell/power: 0-4th

      Event: Faint      Power: Change to continuity that could affect future in some small way      Spell/power: 5th-8th

      Event: Moderate      Power: Change that may destroy large parts of future      Spell/power: 9+

      Event: Strong      Power: Paradox, temporal event that is self-destroying, time travel

      Event: Overwhelming      Power: Entire city moved through time, threat to Temporal energy plane, person moving to a period of tremendous cosmic importance (dawn or end of time)

If an anomaly falls into more than one category, the spell indicates the stronger of the two.
