Lines and wrinkles are the material read by chiromancy, which extends from hands to plants and mines. Injuries, healing, hard work, and ageing can change their appearance, so the source itself does not treat every line as an immutable original inscription. Their significance depends on the kind of body and the particular inference claimed from its markings.
