"You need at least ten Cards, and then you have to shuffle them while in a trance, thinking about your question."

"Do more cards make the answer more precise? What are the meanings of each card? Does repeating the question give you the same results?"

"There are many spreads with different numbers of cards that answer different things about the questions."

"What about the other questions? You don't know the answers? Maybe the cards kind work like some centaurs can do fortune-telling."

"I know the meanings but the person reading the Cards will know more, and the same person repeating the question gives the same results."

"Good, but then, what if I add or remove cards from the deck I am using?"

...shrug.

"Well... We could test that, but I guess it might be more important figuring out if you," Fenris points at Sadde, "are Clow's reincarnation."

"Yeah, and I guess we can ask if any of us is... whatever the term for someone that reincarnated is."

"I guess. I still think it's unlikely. How many Cards do we have?" He holds out the Change for counting.

Temple has Windy, Flower, Glow, Twin, Jump, Shield, Through, Silent, Rain, Wood, Mirror and Illusion.

The twins have Freeze, Fight, Dash, Maze and Fly.

"You can do three-, five-, and six-card spreads," Kero says.

"Okay... Let's start with three."

"The three-card spread can talk about past, present, and future, or about you, the issue, and external influences, or other things."

"So it sounds like it can answer if Sadde is or isn't Clow reincarnated. And possibly if I am the reincarnation of his long lost love or something."

"Yeah."

"Okay, let's do this. How do I do it? Do I have to hold the cards with one hand and draw with the other or something?"

"Yes. You have to go into a trance and shuffle with your left hand, reversing half of the deck sometimes, thinking about your question. You'll know when you're done, and then you have to lay the three Cards face down one after the other from left to right and turn them face up in order."

Temple follows those instructions. He focuses on the question "Did Clow Reed reincarnate as Sadde?" and asks the Cards to show the past, present and future.

The first Card he turns face-up is the Silent. "The Silent is about planning and forethought, honesty, calm, recharging."

When Kero mentions planning and forethought, Temple feels quite sure that's what the Card's telling him.

"Oooh, my sorcery sense is telling me that the card is meant to convey planning and forethought."

Sadde raises an eyebrow. "Your sorcery sense."

"Acquired when he was bitten by a radioactive sorcerer, one presumes."

"Exactly! Okay, next card."

Present! "The Mirror represents reflection, self-knowledge, understanding, seeing oneself in others."

All of those things seem to apply to the situation.
