Divination

Divination is the school of magic that governs the ability to garner secrets and information that would otherwise be completely unknown to the caster of the spell. Spells in this field work by using the omnipresent nature of the weave to pull the user's senses forth to a location to perceive something, or by gathering latent information and presenting it to the spellcaster in a variety of different ways, some of which require a bit of thought to decipher. A newer, lesser known use for this school of magic is the bending of the laws of probability, with several spells giving the user an increased chance to succeed in their endeavors.
  Mages who dedicate themselves to this school are known as Diviners, and with enough training, they've been shown to be incredibly powerful allies and foes, despite the popular opinion that this school is incredibly weak for most practical purposes. Bending reality can become quite trivial to those who become overly proficient in Divination magic, as well as the more mundane tasks of peering far off into the world to check in upon a companion, an enemy, or even a home that you're away from.
  Notable spells from this school include: Scying, which is a spell of higher level that allows you to conjure an invisible sensor into an area to keep watch upon a person, place, or object, Legend Lore, which will allow the user to garner information about a topic of epic significance, albeit at the cost of some pricy materials, and Fortune's Favor, a newer spell to come into existence, that can bend the odds of a particular task into the subjects favor.
