Acromancy
Definition
An ancient form of divination based on the observation and interpretation of the shapes and evolution of air, mist, or atmospheric vapors; the art of predicting the future through specific aeromantic phenomena. In its ritualistic essence, this practice involved the mystical isolation of the seer in an open space, where the patterns left by early air currents or condensed vapors were decoded as subtle messages from the divinity.
