The Theurgy spell Divination is a source of basic, often curiosity-driven information.
Description[edit]
Divination is a useful knowledge spell that reveals to the theurgist the following information about the world:
- The caster’s current location
- The time of the day
- The current day of the week
- The current month of the year
- How long the Avatar has been in Pagan
This makes the caster independent of clocks and keeps him or her well-informed of the flow of time. Beyond this, however, it has little other use.
Lore[edit]

The Focus necessary for casting this spell resembles a sextant. The spell also has a vocal aspect. The words that must be uttered at the moment of casting are 'In Wis.' – from The Spell of Divination (Ultima VIII)

Trivia[edit]
- This spell is the only way to actually get information about the Pagan calendar, as otherwise the name of the day and month remain unknown.
- This also reveals the names of some areas whose names otherwise never revealed, such as Treasure Cove.
