The Diviner attunement is designed for data gathering and storage. Diviners have at their disposal a variety of spells to locate and identify people or objects, detect magic, and even see at great distances. The diviner attunement grants the attuned access to mental mana and enhancement mana, along with their combination: memory mana[1]. At citrine, it grants access to water mana.

Valian Diviners are often compared to Caelish analysts and Dalen seers, which are all related to information gathering. Diviners are more focused on the actual gathering and preserving of raw information, often by creating memory crystals, while Analysts focus on processing data and seers focus on gathering more temporary information via scrying[2].

The diviner attunement is most commonly found in the Serpent Spire in Valia[1].
