Tips for better readings

  • For yes-or-no questions, start with "Should I," "Will" or "Is."
  • For choices, put both options in the question with "or" between them, and AuraAsk will pick one.
  • For the question that really matters, save it for your Daily Ritual, which guarantees an Epic answer or better.
  • Notice your reaction. The feeling you get in the second after the answer appears is often the most honest part of the reading.

Party game: Oracle Roulette

  3. The group votes on the best (or most chaotic) answer of the round.
  4. Bonus points for anyone who gets a Legendary or Mythic answer.
