Asha

By reading the lines of fate and the flow of natural energy in the world, a user of Asha can predict the branching paths of the world, gleaning untold knowledge from the potential outcomes or pushing away the veil of time and gaze into the past. However, Asha itself cannot change the future or rewrite past events, only give predictions of outcomes that must be acted upon by those living in the present. The powers and skill of Asha depend on the user, some gaining powerful abilities of precognition while others can offer advice to avoid taking a train on Wednesday or to not marry into a particular family. More users of Asha can widen the effects of the magic, making better and more accurate predictions on which course the future will take. Only priests are permitted to use Asha in Brahmacharya, any found using the magic within the country itself not of the Priest Caste are swiftly put to death.
