To be taught cheiromancy and pyromancy, with the philosophy, logic, and rhetoric to speak of them, by the office of Furcas, who teaches these arts "in all their parts, and perfectly".
Furcas in The Goetia (1904)

His Office is to teach the Arts of Philosophy, Astrology, Rhetoric, Logic, Cheiromancy, and Pyromancy, in all their parts, and perfectly. He hath under his Power 20 Legions of Spirits. His Seal, or Mark, is thus made, etc.
