The fourth-level spell arcane eye is a great example of this. The reason why divination spells peter out so quickly is that they have a tendency to remove the element of surprise from a game. The fact that divination spells aren't meant for combat is alleviated by many of them being D&D ritual spells, which means they can be cast without expending a slot, so long as the caster has ten minutes to prepare. There are also some divination spells that give the player glimpses into the future, but these cannot be relied upon, due to the ever-shifting nature of a D&D game. Instead, the divination spells are intended to solve mysteries and allow the player to gather information about their surroundings. There are only a few divination spells that are intended for combat, with the true strike cantrip and hunter's mark being the most famous.
The spells that belong to divination broadly fall into two categories: communication, and using magic in replacement of a sense.
The ability to predict the future and see things without risking harm will quickly drain the fun out of the game. The reason for this is that divination has the potential to be one of the strongest schools in D&D and giving it high-level effects can eliminate all of the challenges in a campaign. Divination is one of the schools of magic in Dungeons & Dragons, yet it only has one high-level spell in the official rulebooks.
