Line 84:
* The Dunyain from [[The Second Apocalypse]] can't technically see the future, but they can read their opponents' expressions and body language and predict their actions before they perform them.
* [[Twilight|Alice Cullen]] uses her clairvoyance against other vampires, both for fighting and playing chess.
* The title device in [[Fred Saberhagen]]'s ''The Mask of the Sun'' could do this for the wearer. When the main character put it on for the first time, it showed him a vision of shifting two pieces of furniture.

One wonders what a fight between Foreshadow and the Eye of God would be like.
* {{spoiler|The Girl}} of ''[[A Girl and Her Fed]]'' has this power.
