Description: Your powers warn you of danger.
Prerequisites: DEX 17, 10 Levels of Arcane Spells, Words of Turning
So long as you maintain 10 levels of arcane spell energy, you can never be surprised. Roll initiative normally during the surprise round – note that it is still possible for the elf to be flat-footed, as his reflexes may not always be as fast as his prescience.
