Viola thought for a moment. She raised her hand and said,
"It's another form of Divination. Divination by observation of a liquid surface is known as elaeomancy. Mainly oil is used in elaeomancy..mainly Olive Oil." Viola wasn't really sure if water was used.
"It's done by dripping oil on a plate and then reading the pattern it forms." That's it. She didn't know anything else about elaeomancy. In fact, she was quite pleased with herself for knowing so much. Viola smiled.
