	As a divination, this ritual often involves the use of [[Runes\|runestones]], cards or similar divinatory tools. A [[The League\|League]] ritualist may study a card spread, or carefully handle the item while examining it with a ~~jeweler~~'s loupe or lens to uncover the handiwork of a specific artisan. A [[The Marches\|Marcher]] cunning-man might scry the face of the crafter in a metal water-bowl or polished sphere, while those of a more mystical bent may inhale narcotic fumes and allow a divinatory vision to overwhelm them.

	The rune [[Pallas]], which represents both wealth and the art of the crafter, is particularly resonant with this ritual - tracing the rune on the item in blood, sweat, or ash is a common element. Likewise, the [[astronomancy\|astronomantic]] constellation of the [[The_Spider_and_The_Web#The_Web\|Web]] has some correspondence with the ritual - the item and the one who forged it are connected by bonds of fate and intent.

	This straightforward divination ritual recognises the [[Autumn_magic#Craftsmanship\|prowess and skill]] of an [[Crafting skills#Artisan\|artisan]].

Being able to prove conclusively that a sword was forged by such-and-such an artisan can provide evidence in a murder trial, or secure the conviction of a thief.

Sometimes the diviners gain a brief glimpse of the act of creation, or of the crafter.
