Predict Tide

Predict tide provides the caster with a general indication of the tides (time, water level at high and low tides) in the local area for the next 24 hours. The base accuracy is 75%, plus 2% per level of the caster. Even if the accuracy roll fails, the most that will happen is that there will be a slight error in the estimated time or water level.

The material component (not consumed) is a silver disk engraved with an image of the moon. The disk must be worth not less than 10 gp. On a world with more than one moon, the spell requires one silver disk for each moon.

Being able to magically predict the tide is not terribly important in an area where the tides follow regular patterns. However, on a world with two or more moons, this spell can be very handy indeed.
