 Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your seeker spells,
since you learn your spells through dedicated Maven and
memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell
refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your
Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a
seeker spell you cast and when making an attack roll with
one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Intelligence modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your
Intelligence modifier
Ritual spells
You can cast any seeker spell you prepare as a ritual if that
spell has the ritual tag.
Spellcasting Focus
You can use a divine focus as a spellcasting focus for your
seeker spells. This divine focus can be your fortune telling
device.
Rites
For any seeker spell prepared of 5th level and below, you are
able to cast those spells as a Rite instead of using a spell slot.
The cast time for these spells follows the format of rituals
and equals the standard casting time plus 10 minutes. You
regain all expended Rites when you finish a long rest.
Spells cast using a Rite have an associated cost depending
on what spell is being cast, as seen in the table below.

questions:
Will this help the character move easily through the world?
Examples include misty step, passwall, tree stride
Will this help the character acquire information or lock
down a target? examples include detect magic, hunter’s
mark, ensnaring strike, and locate creature/object*
Will this directly add to the character’s ability to overcome
skill tests? Examples include enhance ability, knock, skill
empowerment
Does this indirectly fall into the category of 1 or 2?
Examples are a bit more difficult but include suggestion, tiny
hut, tongues, water breathing, fabricate and disintegrate for
traversing the world; find familiar, mind spike, spirit shroud,
true sight, and maze for learning info or sequestering a
target.
Is it utility or supportive? Examples are darkness, intellect

Is it a slow cast spell that feels in the realm of categories 1-
5? Examples include prayer of healing, plant growth, and
