Any good 8th lvl divination spells not in PhB?

[Piratecat]

I'm trying to find some good divination spells for a player. Can anyone recommend useful, fun or interesting high-lvl divinations that aren't in the PhB, and thus I've probably missed?

Thanks!

Here's one I wrote up for Aquerra:

True Scrying
Divination
Level: Wizard 8

As greater scrying, but sufficiently subtle that normal observation cannot detect the magical sensor. Even magical and other extraordinary means that would normally reveal your scrying without error require a successful Scry check against a DC of 25. In addition, you may cast telepathic bond and true seeing through the sensor.

Material Components: The eye of an eagle, hawk or roc, plus at least 100 gp worth of crushed sapphire.

Hypercognition, from the psi book, would make a decent spell.

not really
checked R&R & RR2...

I'll check the OA/ Rokugan stuff next...

OA seems to have it's own versions of Greater Scrying and Discern Location too... not much else though.

Nothing new in the splatbooks or FR books

Nada in Spells & Magic or Spells & Spellcraft either

It seems Diviners should "know better" than to choose this school!


Hmmm..

BoVD: 7th level : Fiendish Clarity : Caster sees in even magical darkness, sees invisible upto 60ft, and can detect good

hnnnuu,

There are some areas that really lack spells for all purposes.

I always though that a good divination spell of high level would be a precognition that would let you know where a thing would be in a space in a specified time. Would work wonders for tactics and give the DM nice caveats for how the PCs got ambushed.

That's really a cool idea.

I was thinking of things like "what are they doing now?", a spell that gives you a play-by-play of someone's actions. Other possibilities include long-distance mind-reading.

But dang, there aren't many high level divination spells, are there? And there should be. Anyone know of others?

Discern location is awesomely powerful. See Sepulchrave's story hours for examples of its use.

You might allow a powerful Diviner to use some of the, umm, divine spells. Find the path (Clr 6) is always nice (especially in the Tomb of Horrors, remember?). Brain spider (Clr 8, DotF) has a stupid name but is nonetheless a useful divination spell for magical eavesdropping.

The Kingdoms of Kalamar Player’s Guide has a 6th level divination, probe thoughts, which is basically detect thoughts on crack; no high-level diviner should be without it.

I thought R&R had a high level divination, don't have it on hand however.

On the WotC site, in the Spellbook area is the spell "Hindsight." Lets you look at the events at your location, you can choose days, weeks, years, or centuries to look at but your level of detail goes down as you expand the time frame.
