Maybe kids are better equipped to handle divination than adults? Maybe the fact that they have an excuse for not being able to determine what's real and what isn't, makes them all the better for it.

You guys sound so caustic about it. 11 year olds don't conjure evil(not your average one anyway). Adults do. All the symptoms and evidence are inside this thread.

And this makes it really obvious that you have not raised a child, average or otherwise.
