The Astrologer Is Fooling You

Astrologers are a variant of divination mages: people who use the movement of the heavens to study the past and present, predict the future, and reveal fate.

Astrologer Pal Last originally thought so too, until he reopened an ancestral ancient tome many years later — 《A Guide for Starship Passengers》.

What does it mean to “construct formulas with the trajectories of the stars as circuits, and borrow astral magic to cast planar-level spells”?

What does it mean that “by using vast magic power and mass to distort time and space, this is the true essence of astrology”?

What does it mean that “what you see is what you get, and foreseeing the future is merely advancing power”?

And what does it mean to “give stars to the heavens, light to the earth, and the future to people”?

At first glance, it sounds like mere novelist’s nonsense, but when you think about it carefully, there is some truth to it. As long as you can fire something into the sky and keep a connection with it...

And this was the first step in the legendary astrologer who rewrote the status of the divination school, as well as the beginning of the fortune-teller’s scammer career, which made him known as “the Great Charlatan” —

“What do you mean, scamming people? Our diviners are so weak in combat and so easily targeted. If we don’t find a way to learn some illusion magic to protect ourselves, how are we supposed to survive?”
