Manuromancer

Manuromancers studied excrement as a means of divining the future.Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords, Section 5, p.21-24 Various disciplines existed in the practise and identification of the manure source was essential. Knowing whether the manure came from a donkey versus a mule was important to the final result. Some manuromancers preferred their subjects to defecate in a bowl to ensure proper identification, capture any liquids, and eliminate the need to study the drop patter accompanied by a fall to the ground. A numerically scaled Brown Chart helped the manuromancer categorise the colour of the excrement while an Anal Discharge Scale measured pressure.Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords, Section 9 p.43 A proper reading required time and effort to prepare a comprehensive chart.Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords, Section 9 p.45
Manuromancers were familiar with the parasites that infested the body and which often appeared amongst the material they studied.Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords, Section 19 p.79-80 But in the end, their efforts were not meant to provide a medical diagnosis nor prophylactic treatment.Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords, Section 9 p.44
