Enoptromancy

The ancient divination[*] method of using a shiny surface placed in water to foretell[+] the recovery (or death) of someone

the psychic or healer[#] suspends a mirror in water. Only the base of the mirror is allowed to touch the water. The psychic then gazes into the water, interpreting the vision[~] that appears on the shiny surface, foretelling whether the patient will die or recover.[$]
