Feng shui (/ˈfʌŋˌʃuːi/ [2] or /ˌfʌŋˈʃweɪ/[3]), sometimes called Chinese geomancy, is a traditional form of geomancy that originated in Ancient China and claims to use energy forces to harmonize individuals with their surrounding environment. The term feng shui means, literally, "wind-water" (i.e., fluid). From ancient times, landscapes and bodies of water were thought to direct the flow of the universal Qi – "cosmic current" or energy – through places and structures. More broadly, feng shui includes astronomical, astrological, architectural, cosmological, geographical, and topographical dimensions. Feng Shui rituals are performed with the usage of multiple crystals, herbs, stones, incenses and other common divination tools.

Laplace tells someone they are going to do something. "You will give me your gun." "You will tell me your deepest secret." "You will jump into the water." And by the time he finishes speaking, it's the truth.
(Note to self, single order, only "and" for describing conditions of completing task, not additional steps or tasks)
(Note to GMs, see extended description for relevant information)
Laplace's parasite stops him from uttering known lies, and he must exert himself to betray the limitations of his body. Within what little of the bounds he can stretch. The parasite, taking offense to the blatant lie, changes reality in order to remedy the situation.
