"Divination?" Aiden paused for a moment upon hearing the term, "Hasn't it already been lost?"
Divination had indeed existed in history but, objectively speaking, it wasn't a highly efficient form of magic. Only women could use divination, and the chances of successfully invoking it were quite low. Even on the rare occasion of success, it would only yield a very vague image to the caster.
What was worse, in any era, there were far more charlatan fortune-tellers than genuine ones, and due to the inefficiency of divination, slick deceptions often carried more conviction than the real thing.
In Aiden's understanding of black magic, those knowledgeable in divination had long since vanished.
"It has been lost in the Southern Continent, but there are still people in the Northern Continent who understand divination. My mother learned this art from a true fortune-teller and then she taught it to me," Deborah said.
