She couldn’t say she’d ever heard it described in quite that way before. “Oil and water don’t mix,” she agreed. “The oil floats on the surface of the water, and then the motion of the pouring makes it move into random shapes that can be read.” It was fairly straightforward, although the question then remained if people thought it was in fact similar to previously discussed forms of symbol-reading in Divination.
“Would you think that one could really compare the symbols seen in elaeomancy to those that could be found in tasseomancy?,” she went on to ask. Obviously oil would create looser symbols than tea leaves might, but indirectly it was all still similar. And she wanted to know their thoughts before she set out to let them try a bit of the former anyway.
Penny was lost in thought, she was trying to imagine both forms and their outcomes... "Professor, I think that both forms can be compared... the water & oil may be of less clarity, with the reading of the signs being more subjective.... while tea leaves would be more defined with clearer symbols & signs"...
