Properties[]
As an archetype, the fortune teller or also known as soothsayers are individuals who can see things hidden from others and also has the ability to predict the future through various mediums of divination, such as: tarot cards, crystal balls, reading another palm lines, runes, tea leaves and even the stars and planets and so on. Fortunetellers have also been known to use various forms of psychic magic to enhance or even use divination abilities. Sometimes fortune tellers are also powerful psychics and seers, only able to use their gifts in the manner of a soothsayer. However, there is also another side to fortune tellers that also exists, that they are fake con artists trying to make money by "predicting" fake divinations.
Unlike Seers, fortune tellers do not always possess the gift of sight to see visions of the future, and sometimes not possessing any psychic gifts/abilities at all.
