• Prediction Markets

Notes: As this rote relies on the wisdom of crowds it is useless if kept private. Many mages (and others) keep tabs on the prediction markets to try to guess what the Syndicate is asking about, and gain access to their predictions. Canny Associates will disguise their questions using an Int + Subterfuge roll, opposed by an appropriate roll for the snooper.
