Magic has been an integral part of human civilization since ancient times. Many societies, including the ancient Greeks, embraced the concept of magic and its practice. One of the most prominent cities where magic flourished was Athens, the capital of Greece. In Athens, the practice of magic was not only prevalent but also considered a respected field of knowledge. The ancient Athenians believed in the existence of supernatural forces that could be tapped into and manipulated for various purposes. It was believed that magic could bring about desired outcomes, protect individuals from harm, and even influence events on a larger scale.
Divination is one of the oldest forms of folklore magic and due to its many real-world (attempted) practices (from bird augury to astrology to Tarot to blind oracles to even darker methods like reading the entrails or ashes from a ritual sacrifice) it can be one of the most resonant and flavorful forms of magic in D&D. Despite that, those spellcasters hoping to specialize in divination find the spell list rather lacking. To that end, D&D Unleashed brings a few handfuls of new divination spells, including those like today's example which will appear in Legends of Prestige and Prowess.

Omnisight is one of the new Divination spells that has combat applications, though to call it a combat spell would belittle its vast utility. While many of the new divination spells in D&D Unleashed are combat-focused spells, there's already an official 9th-level divination spell for combat: foresight. Omnisight lasts an hour without concentration (like true seeing does at 6th-level) but its limited to the spellcaster only. Its main non-combat use is for exploration -- this spell lets a high-level spellcaster peer through the depths of any small to medium-sized dungeon as if they had Superman's X-Ray vision! It can be used to aid tracking or investigation, and it gives you an initiative boost to boot. Its main combat benefit (besides being true seeing on steroids) is allowing the spellcaster to cast powerful spells that normally require vision at targets who would otherwise be behind total cover, though this only allows spells like mind spike that could be cast through a glass window -- a spell like fireball will still slam into the wall before hitting the target you're looking at.
As an added bonus, omnisight gives the spellcaster a consciously-controlled form of Synesthesia, just for fun and flavor.

These philosophers believed that magic was a hidden aspect of reality that could be explored through reason and observation. Additionally, the presence of temples and sanctuaries in Athens further enhanced the practice of magic. These holy places were believed to have a strong connection to the gods and goddesses, providing a fertile ground for magical rituals and ceremonies. People would seek the guidance of priests and priestesses, who were well-versed in magical practices, to fulfill their desires or seek divine intervention. Athens was also a city that hosted numerous festivals and celebrations. Many of these events were associated with the gods and goddesses, offering opportunities for magical performances and rituals. One such festival was the Eleusinian Mysteries, a secret religious ceremony dedicated to Demeter and Persephone. The mysteries were believed to involve magical practices, with initiates experiencing visions and spiritual enlightenment. Despite the acceptance and prevalence of magic in Athens, there were certain limitations and regulations in place. The Athenian legal system, for instance, prohibited harmful magical practices such as curses or love spells that could manipulate someone against their will. Such acts were seen as a threat to the fabric of society and were strictly punished. In conclusion, Athens, the capital of Greece, was a city where magic thrived. With its vibrant intellectual and philosophical atmosphere, its connection to the divine through temples and sanctuaries, and its hosting of religious festivals, Athens became a hub for magical practices. Despite regulations, magic was regarded as a respected field of knowledge and a means to influence and understand the supernatural forces at work in the world..
