	At the end of the session, complete a woven bracelet with the 3 of 218 herbs that appeared during the reading. (TODO: Investigate if it's possible to forage all herbs. Consider substitutes or consider only providing some of the herbs.) If the reading requires growth or moving on, perhaps instruct the participant to burn the weaving of their reading and imagine an outcome in their minds eye.

	Remember, as an Empath, Cerri has an affinity to herbal healing. In her backstory, she was an herbalist before she was an Empath. If I can get enough summoning lore and they appear as cards, I should consider using the herb summoning spell to summon them fresh in front of the client. How cool would THAT be??

	For the question portion, strike a balance between teaching tarot layouts and choosing the correct one for the situation. Ideally, it should be fast to explain the kinds of questions that can be asked which should lead to clearer answers based on the style chosen.

			[[File:BlackRoseDraftCropped.jpg \| x300px \| left]] ''"An artist gifted one of [House Nalfein's] noblewomen with an elegant deck of paper-thin, teak cards. Painted upon one side of each wooden card was the ebon rose of the House, while the other had elaborate images of various flowers and plants that could be found throughout the whole of Elanthia. It is speculated that the gift was intended to be a means of divining the future from an artist of House Loenthra. The noblewoman, however, scoffed at the thought that anyone but she could predict, and facilitate, her own future and thus the deck took on an entirely different purpose. [...]''

			''It is believed by many true practitioners of the Art that a Black Rose Deck could still provide a true prediction if properly employed, but there isn't a Nalfein alive that would give it any credibility."''
