	Both the Day and the Night ~~Realm~~ resonate with divination magics, but each realm takes a radically different approach. While the Night ~~Realm~~ concerns itself with instincts, feelings, and qualities, the Day ~~Realm~~ is only resonant with measurable commodities and with rational quantifiable facts. Numbers, distances, quantities, all fall within the realm of Day and rituals that divine these pieces of information or which apply the knowledge in some way (for example, to find deposits of valuable minerals or avoid dangers during trade) are far more powerful here than with any other realm.

	The magic of ~~day~~ is insightful, cerebral, rational and calm. It grants crystalline clarity, and unquestionable certainty. It is the magic of the conscious mind, of logic and reason; of knowledge and understanding. It lives in the eternal quest for mastery of the self and the world; it whispers that what can be understood can ultimately be controlled. It is the unblinking light that, should a mortal stare into it for too long, brings blindness.		The magic of Day is insightful, cerebral, rational and calm.

It is the unblinking light that, should a mortal stare into it for too long, brings blindness.

	The most obvious use for the magic of Day is in divination. Rituals of the magic of Day are effective at scrying the present, but they might also be used to uncover details about past events and to [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/prognostication prognosticate] about the future. It is impossible to divine precisely who will survive on a battlefield, for example, because there is so much randomness and chaos; but it is possible to extrapolate the likely outcomes of actions based on past experience. Day magic excels at uncovering details - numbers of troops, for example, or the precise magnitude of an [[enchantment]]. It does not guess - it reveals or divines the truth with relentless precision.		The most obvious use for the magic of Day is in divination.
