[QUOTE="Tectuktitlay, post: 6872928, member: 82812"] To be fair, the divination school is royally screwed up in that regard. For wizards, there's only one cantrip, all three of the 1st level spells are rituals (Comprehend Languages, Detect Magic, and Identify), there are three 2nd level spells and they're not super great to have on hand most of the time (Detect Thoughts, Locate Object, and See Invisibility), two 3rd level spells (Clairvoyance and Tongues, and the latter is not going to be prepared very often either), two 4th level spells (Arcane Eye is great, Locate Creature more limited most of the time), two of the four 5th level spells are rituals (Contact Other Plane and Rary's Telepathic Bond; Legend Lore and Scrying are the other two, and the latter is probably the most useful overall), only True Seeing at 6th level, there are NO 7th or 8th level spells AT ALL, and only Foresight at 9th. So...at 13th level, with up to 7th level spells (and having no 7th level spell options), four sounds about right. I'd probably want Arcane Eye, Scrying, and True Seeing most of the time, possibly Clairvoyance, and the rest of the generally useful ones will be set aside for ritual use only. Divination kinda gets the short end of the stick as far as selection goes. [/QUOTE]
