Level of Air Elemental giving forecast:    L    -L(L-1)/2

Notes:

  1. Gives a weather forecast for the Forest the Caster is currently in, on a %age chance basis, e.g. there is a 50% chance of rain within the next 6 hours.  It cannot definitively predict the weather, because it covers the entire Forest and the Elementals are capricious, and are only stating their intentions.
  2. The forecast is obtained by the Nature Spirit from an Air Elemental.  Requesting the forecast from a hgher-level Elemental will give a more detailed and authoritative forecast, but will not necessarily make it more accurate.  For example, a higher-level Elemental will be more particular about wind speeds (as to which see the General Notes for Air Spells).
  3. Requires light concentration to hear the forecast, which is whispered by the Spirit for the Caster's ears only.
  4. The Caster may specify the particular type of weather he wishes to predict (e.g. whether there will be sufficient cloud cover for Call Lightning), or leave it open for a general forecast giving the most likely weather to occur.
  5. Once the weather has been predicted on a %age basis, the DM will roll d100 to determine whether the predicted weather will occur.
