Battle of the Omens
The Battle of the Omens was caused when two castors of opposite alignments both cast Omen spell in the exact same moment, while being less than 100 feet apart - unseen by each other.
Both casters received both omens, along with many others, and went 'mad' - they became immortal. Unable to escape the given knowledge when asked questions they became hermits (said to still reside somewhere within parts of the Tuck region).
Location = Baerra in the Tuck region of the continent of Malnax

SPELL
A caster used this spell to predict the outcome of an adventure or an event. During casting, a wu jen communicated with spirits and a shugenja communicated with their deity. When a shugenja cast this spell, they remained motionless and waited for a sign from their deity. Spirits and deities were sporadic with the omens and they were challenging to interpret correctly. The spell took a substantial physical and mental toll on the caster, and even the most powerful shugenja or wu jen was only able to cast this spell once a week.COMPONENTS = For a shugenja, only a verbal component was required. For a wu jen, both a verbal and a material component were required. During casting, the wu jen needed to burn small pieces of paper written with the four directions
