	I still don't love compumancy, but this is a clever idea.

	Side note: like Cliomancy, does anybody have ideas for the
	"fathers" of magickal methods?  fleshies and drunks seem too
	old to have a root master, but how about chaos mages?

	I rather like the idea that despite how "individual" entropomancy
	seems to some, there is one authority who wrote the book and
	everybody is basically treading water in a field he created.
