"...Dancer in specific is an absolutely fantastic attunement for a couple reasons:

* Dancers are one of those rare cases of an attunement that can get access to their tertiary mana type early, which is one of the things that leads to their name. This gives them unusual flexibility at low levels.

* Speaking of spycraft, the Dancer is also one of the few attunements that has magic that can be used for scrying purposes. Their particular mana combo is often used for a type of classical scrying that uses water as a medium for viewing remote locations."

The Dancer attunement's abilities have not yet appeared in the books. Andrew Rowe says Dancers would probably be some kind of hyper-aware or cognitive evasion fighter. Dancer is the Clarity attunement.
