Effect

Once before the spell ends, the caster can gain an insight bonus equal to caster level, to a maximum of +25, on one attack roll, opposed ability check, opposed skill check or saving throw. Instead, the bonus can be applied to AC against one attack.

The choice must be made before the relevant roll. Using the insight requires no action, and the spell ends once the benefit is used.

Limits

Only one Moment of Prescience can be active on a creature at a time.

Using It in Play

The spell rewards preparation: cast it before entering danger, then hold the insight for the single roll or attack that matters most.
