These prophecies typically entail casting a spell from a specific school or dealing a specific type of damage.

  •  Prophecy: Reap Rewards: Kill an enemy.

Bugs

•  Prophecy: Delivering Alms can never be completed because it references a passive which does not exist in the game code.
• Divination Wizards can only have one die per value, yet the game only ensures unique values for Portent Dice granted after long rests. This means a fulfilled Prophecy might result in no extra die if a wizard already has a die with the same value. For example, a wizard with 2 remaining Portent Dice has a 10% chance of not getting a new die, while a wizard with a single remaining die has a 5% chance.
• Casting area of effect spells while not in turn-based mode can make prophecies activated by dealing a certain damage type trigger multiple times, resulting in multiple new Portent Dice, often overcoming the limit of 3. For example, casting a  Fireball with  Lightning Charges against a group of five enemies while outside of combat and having both  Prophecy: Burn After Reading and  Prophecy: Shocking Revelation results in up to 10 new Portent Dice for a Divination Wizard, as both prophecies are triggered once per enemy.
