Foretelling is the ability to tell the future with unerring accuracy, if not always great clarity. The ability is believed to be linked to the One Power by Aes Sedai, and is thus classified as a Talent even though it requires no active use of the Power. Indeed, it is usually not under the control of the speaker as to when it comes upon her (or him), and sometimes they do not remember, themselves, what they have Foretold.
