Proposed Canon

Predictamancy is one of the three disciplines of the Magic class Hocus Pocus; it is aligned with the axis of Fate.^Erf-b1-p038a

Abilities

• Findamancers and Predictamancers in the Magic Kingdom^Erf-b1-p013 together forged a Spell^Erf-b1-p005 that was supposed to summon the "Perfect Warlord".

Known Predictamancers

• The Predictamancer of Faq: An unnamed Caster responsible for many plot central predictions.

Speculation

Predictions that have proven accurate

• The predictamancer of Faq predicted that Faq would fall some day.^Erf-b1-p082
• The predictamancer of Faq determined the order in which cities of Faq were veiled by the Foolamancer.^Erf-b1-p107
• Wanda taking possession of Arkenpliers and attuning to them was Predicted.^Erf-b1-p143

Predictamancy and causality

The mechanisms of predictamancy have not been described in any detail. Some possible mechanics are:

Self Fulfilling Prophecy

Knowledge of the predictions or predictamancy itself casues the predictions to be true. It could be argued that Wanda only became attuned to the Arkenpliers due to a course of actions based on future knowledge.^Erf-b1-p143

Outside influence

Forces beyond the scope of ordinary cause and effect in Erfworld (For instance the Titans) alter events to reach the predicted state regardless of anybody's knowledge or choices.
