More then the benefits...Derf could only think about how problematic this type of reading could be. That list continued to grow and grow inside his head as well. He knew that some ancient cultures believed shadows to represent the soul, that much he had come across time and time again in his readings and stuff...which sorta brought on a whole new light to Peter Pan being super attached to his and how it also seemed to have a mind of its own...

Wait...what was the question?

Oh. Right. Pros and or cons to this method...to which Derf really could only find cons in it...and was also reminded of the few times, before he had dropped Astronomy, that Stephanie had tutored him in the Earth's rotation around the sun and sundials and all that.

Honestly...he much preferred nephelomancy.

"Having, you know, a reliable light source and then how close you are standing to that light source will change your reading dramatically...but also, you know, if you're using the Sun as your source and then tracking it that way...the orbit. No wait, sorry. Not orbit. Rotation. But the rotation influences shadows and all that because of the Sun's position so like...there are just a lot of factors that come into play and doesn't seem like you can really get an pure reading? Or like...you know...you could manipulate results by picking a certain time of day to do it that best suits the results you want? Or like...where you stand in association with the light? So like...even if we all were to circle up around the bonfire...all of us are at different angles to the light source, the fire, so like...of course shape and stuff will be different, you know?"

Maybe? He had rambled again.
