;[[Rotes by Craft / Tradition]]
'''Description:''' This rote (also known as the Keening of the Banshee) is surprisingly simple, but still very rarely used. By following the threads of fate forward, the mage can feel where they end. This can be used to predict how long anything will remain in existence; inanimate objects, living beings, people and even love itself. Most mages prefer not to use this rote at all. The only exceptions are (of course) the Euthanatos, who simply regard it as a useful tool or a very powerful demonstration of the total power of Entropy. They cast the bones and interpret their patterns.

'''System:''' The rote has some limitations. It cannot predict exactly where something will end, just a time of great entropy. Sometimes people survive just barely,and go on living. Awakened beings also automatically disturb the predictions by their actions, especially if they have Time or Entropy themselves (increase difficulty). If the rote is used on a mage, he will automatically try to subconsciously counter-magick it.
