One of the oldest traditions known to mortals, practiced by both religious and secular folk, Divination spells use magic to reveal secrets, to anticipate the future and see into the past.

Those affiliated with religions tend to believe that the answers to their questions come from their gods and the servants of those gods. Secular users of the tradition believe they are peering at the fabric of reality, examining patterns and probabilities to divine the most likely events that might or did transpire.

Students of Divination magic sometimes find themselves afflicted with strange dreams, glimpses of things to come and events that have already transpired. Usually, these visions make no sense, but their significance is later revealed when the students cast their spells. Some diviners keep books in which they make extensive notes about the visions they experience.
