Geomancy

Historical texts salvaged from the Golding Library speak of a ground-based magic, now lost to science. Rumored capabilities include sensing planets' internal forces and plate tectonics, locating precious gems and metals, and even borrowing the strength of mountains.  

The Geomancy Debate

Much geomantic debate between arcanologists centers on whether or not Geomancy was a true magic, or merely a superstitious attempt to explain away natural disasters. Proponents of the magic argue the frequent references to "Metalmancy" - now called Ferromancy - in metalworking texts shows definitive proof of the magic's historical prevalence. Others claim Ferromancy a different lost magic entirely, or even an attempt to explain the non-arcana skills of material science and alloy creation, with no relevance to Geomancy and the mysteries surrounding it.  
Of course Geomancy isn't real. Why would anyone think there's such a thing as dirt magic?

Free Short Story



All they have is time.
 
Killing her would solve most of his problems.
 
But it wouldn’t solve any of the problems that mattered. That was the trouble with immortality, after all. With an eternity before him, everything else became inconsequential.
 
Everything but her.

The way it's legendary makes me think of the diviners back in the days of looking for oil with nothing but a stick.

Maybe they knew Geomancy and didn't know they knew!   Or perhaps it's just one more attempt to reconcile the unknown. Who knows?   At least until the scientists and arcanologists get their answers.
