A note: KJP appears to be actually using the “-mancy” suffix correctly, that is, to refer to methods of divination, rather than the common usage of being the magic of controlling whatever.

I suggest ferromancy (H, I guess; Egan, you should be G), in that wandering, disappearing shop (C). I mean, it is the perfect startup.

Glass is, as usual, correct.
Yep, as ever, I bestow upon Glass the expected +1
I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.

You are a master of anthropomancy in an imperious royal's court! You...probably shouldn't advertise your area of expertise too loudly. The general public rightfully isn't too fond of human sacrifice despite the priests' reassurances.

As for your name, you've found that in your line of work, it often pays not to disclose your name. Your hesitance on this matter is somewhat begrudgingly tolerated by your employer, the brash and bloodthirsty Covetous Prince, seventh son of the Regal Despoiler and heir to little more than this backwater city. Scarcely an hour goes by after you finish unpacking your belongings in your luxurious quarters before you're summoned to the Prince's gardens for your first assignment.

"Anthropomancer," he says, "my father is growing old, and my brothers and sisters stand to inherit his richest lands. My army is well-equipped but small and trained only against nomadic raiders. Tell me what I must do to secure my rightful rewards."

(A) The gods will surely know what the Prince needs. Request a suitable sacrifice.
(B) Is it dinnertime already? Request a suitable sacrifice.
(C-Z) Write-in: This request is too open-ended for the entrails. Skip the sacrifice and advise the Prince directly.

A-ex: The gods will surely know what the Prince needs. Request a suitable sacrifice: one, or more of his elder siblings. When dealing with family matters, it is best to go straight to the source to get accurate answers with Anthropomancy.

+1.  Advise the Prince that, the more of his elder siblings that are sacrificed, the more the gods will favor him in his struggle for power.
