D&D 5E Ever Used/Seen the Intuitive Diviner Feat?

OGC:Intuitive Diviner (5e Feat) - D&D Wiki

Intuitive Diviner
Prerequisites: Wisdom 13 or higher
Your supernal insight originates from the hidden depths of your mind, and reaches into hidden realities.

• You learn any two divination spells of 1st level or higher from the wizard or cleric lists. The spells you choose must be of a spell level available to a wizard or cleric of your character level. These spells do not count against your spells known, if you have such a feature.
• At every odd character level, learn one more such spell. If you obtain this feat at 3rd level or later, you gain these spells retroactively.
• You can cast any divination spell you know as a ritual if it has the ritual tag, even if you are otherwise unable to cast spells.

I am not sure which "book" it is from, it looks like it's something from this website's publishing arm.

Couple of questions:

1. If you can't already cast spells, you can only cast these learned spells as a ritual?
2. If you can cast spells, it only expands your spell list AND gives you the ability to cast divinations as a ritual?

Compare this to any other feat that grants you spells. Oh, look, they usually give you one cantrip and a few benefits, not a ton of higher level spells. This is a hard no from me.

This is from the D&D Wiki, which is pretty roundly derided in the online gaming community. IME it is full of horrifically unbalanced stuff. I won't even bother looking at stuff from it if a player brings it to me. My advice is to stay away from it.

I'm just here to confirm what the Jester told you. The feat is 13 flavors of busted and the site is a joke. I urge you to use neither. I do wish there were feats that gave these kinds of cool things, but it would be really tough to balance.

This is it basically a dragonmark with a splash of restricted ritual caster. So superfeat + partial feat. I would only allow it in a game that also included Dragonmarks, and this would count as theirs.

So generally, "No".
