Levels are a record of renown, not knowledge. Divination methods remain controlled separately by the College. After a completed reading, a seeker may leave one Mark of Favor upon the Interpreter’s Arcanum record.
PERK CONSTELLATIONS
Choose a star to study its blessing. Awakened stars remain with the Seer permanently.

What do you ask of the Arcanum?
Speak the question that has brought you before the chamber. The words will remain upon the altar while the ritual is chosen.
DIVINATION METHODS
Choose a ritual to begin. The seeker’s situation and question will be gathered through the clarifying questions.
THE BINDING RITE
Two characters enter the rite together. Each chooses their own symbol before the nature of the bond is revealed between them.
UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION
Type the seeker’s answers in their own words. The Arcanum will build a private Seer’s Brief from what is happening and what they actually want to know.
“Tell me what is happening right now.” · “What do you want this reading to answer?”
Example: “My wife is fighting with me.” · “Is she going to leave me?”
CORRECT THE AUTOMATIC READING LENS
CHOOSE HOW THE ARCANUM WILL ANSWER
Choose any divination method through which the Arcanum should answer your question.
All available divination choices are shown below. Only the Interpreter can begin the method, but seekers can still see every option and what each one allows.
FIRE READING
Choose how the flame will be read. Each path is a complete divination method of its own.
Place a strand of hair into the flame. Its reaction becomes the first sign; the final flame and any special event complete the reading.
Write the name, question, thought, or intention you want the fire to take. Then burn the parchment and read what the flame does.
FIRE READING
FIRE INTERPRETATION — HOST ONLY
SCRYING BASIN
Choose three herbs and cast them into the basin. Each offering is absorbed by the water in its own way, leaving a trace of its essence behind. After the third offering, the three essences weave together until the final water color settles and gives the basin's YES or NO answer, while rare events add extra meaning to the sign.
BASIN INTERPRETATION — HOST ONLY
AURA READING — GENERAL READING
The Interpreter awakens the unseen field around the seeker. Before the rite begins, the body stands in shadow with no visible aura at all. Once called forth, the light slowly gathers and reveals one color or as many as five. The reading is now focused entirely on the colors and the strength of their glow. The more colors forming in the aura, the longer the field needs to fully awaken.
TEA LEAF READING — GENERAL READING
The seeker drinks the cup, turns it, and lets the last leaves settle. The Arcanum now reads more than a single mark: a primary symbol, the behavior of the leaves, and—when the cup allows it—a faint secondary sign. Watch the cup itself. Leaves may climb, split, spiral, darken the steam, tremble against the porcelain, or gather at the rim before the final pattern is ready.
TEA LEAF READING
CHALICE READING
Choose a personal offering for the chalice: blood, hair, or spit. The offering is given to still water, then the chalice changes color and may produce a secondary reaction.
THE ARCANUM TAROT
The full Skyrim deck is shuffled into a single stack upon the table. Choose the spread, then let the seeker draw from the stack. Each draw pulls the next hidden card from the deck and places it into the spread before it is revealed.

CARD
THE SPIRIT BOARD
Call through the board and watch the center veil. In Single Spirit, one seeker asks alone and the answer rises through the smoke. In Circle Spirit, every character currently gathered in the chamber receives one turn to ask the board. Their individual answers are preserved, then joined into one final message for the entire circle.
SPIRIT INTERPRETATION — HOST ONLY
THE BOND BETWEEN TWO SOULS
Two invited seekers each take one side of the rite. The first guest uses the left side and the second guest uses the right side. Depending on the rite chosen by the Interpreter, the seekers will either seal an object, light a candle, or choose a flower. The host serves only as the Interpreter and can see both selections, while each seeker remains blind to the other seeker's choice until the bond is revealed.
LOVE INTERPRETATION — HOST ONLY
Continue the session without leaving this chamber. Everyone in the chamber will remain connected to the same room.
LEAVE A MARK OF FAVOR
If the Interpreter's reading served you well, you may leave a Mark of Favor upon their Arcanum record. One Mark may be left by each seeker after a completed reading.
