Fortune Telling

From Onward Mud Wiki

Fortune Telling represents your character's ability to interpret signs, symbols, and omens to gain insights into the future or to provide guidance and advice to others. Masters of this skill possess a deep understanding of mystical and divinatory practices, allowing them to peer into the threads of fate and unravel the mysteries of destiny.

Fortune Telling encompasses a variety of techniques and methods, including tarot reading, palmistry, astrology, scrying, and other forms of divination. Novice practitioners may start with basic fortune-telling techniques, such as reading tea leaves or casting simple runes, while experienced seers can delve into more complex and esoteric practices.

Many Fortune Tellers possess keen intuition. They can interpret symbols and omens with precision, unravelling the hidden meanings behind seemingly mundane events and guiding others on their life paths. However, Fortune Telling also encompasses the art of deception when used by charlatans. Masters of this skill possess not only the ability to interpret signs and omens but also the cunning to exploit the beliefs and superstitions of others for personal gain.

Charlatans skilled in Fortune Telling possess a silver tongue and a knack for manipulation, using their charismatic demeanour and persuasive rhetoric to convince others of their supernatural abilities. They may employ tricks, sleight of hand, or cold reading techniques to create the illusion of psychic insight and foresight.

In the hands of a such a skilled charlatan, Fortune Telling becomes a tool for exploitation and deception, preying on the hopes, fears, and vulnerabilities of those who seek guidance in the mystical realms.

This a RP heavy skill.

Fortune Telling relies on intelligence.
