For details, and more commonly encountered ones, Some have corresponding adjectives in ‑mantic (geomantic, necromantic) and a few have related forms in ‑manter for a person who practices divination in that way (cartomancer, necromancer).

Some words seem to include this ending through an accident of spelling: adamancy, dormancy, and others contain ‑cy but not ‑mancy.
