>>I don't doubt their quality, but once I realized that they were just at the top of what could be bought regularly (or one step above?)

The 1000 plat [prediction tools from Future is Now] were well beyond what you could buy in a store and dancing into that "Better then most hand picked store-bought ones trained for 100s of predictions" sort of range.

>>I don't know what to say. I want to say this has happened with every single bowl I've used, at least the last 4-5. They always end up with a huge crack and super blurry lines.

There are factors that can make a tool more or less likely to bond. As I said, it's not stuff I really want to go into right now -- but it's mostly common sense stuff that isn't hard to do. As (I believe) has been said before, the results of any given prediction have far less to do with the bonding process than you might assume.

That said, see my note about chaos. It's possible you're on an unlucky streak, but mathematically unless you're heaping all the penalties possible on you, tools will generally trend upwards. Granted, by far the most visible swings come from the critical successes or failures so if you get 2-3 of those right in a row you can suddenly feel like you have an awesome tool, or a ruined tool no matter what's been going on with the natural bonding process.
