The Law
To protect citizens from swindlers and snake-oil salesmen, lawmakers highly regulated the mystical arts. You cannot use tarot reading, palmistry, or crystal balls to lure customers into a retail establishment without paying for a specific state permit. The law reflects historic suspicions toward traveling carnivals and self-proclaimed clairvoyants.
