To be fair, Vivi thought that divination was pretty much bunk. She liked Arithmancy for the ways that it made sense and ordered things that generally didn't seem to have much order. She could see how it shed light on what already was, but it was the predictive quality she found fault with.

But still... Vivi raised her hand. "Having a basic understanding of Arithmancy will allow you access to understanding a person better - their motives, strengths, and weaknesses - needing only their name or birthdate or something."
