Cool thoughts.

Maybe not exactly what you intended, but here's a grab-bag:

Feat: Expert Timing - Kingdoms of Kalamar - Player's Handbook   p85   
- May delay action without losing place

Feat: Dreamtelling - divinatory ability with ~30 min and skill check

Some classic divination spells:
- Detect Thoughts
- Clairaudience/Clairvoyance
- Greater Scying
- Probe Thoughts
- Brainspider

Others (along the lines of feats / choice):
- Foresight
- Eyes of the Oracle
- Heroics
- Mirror Move

Mentioned in another thread (Psionic): - Discover Truth:

Best,

By metagame information, I mean things like feats, skill points, hitpoints, and etc. Spells, powers, feats, and abilities that outright tell you (the player) these things are essentially handing over this information to the player as well as his character.

Animate Dead? It requires a HD-dependent amount of onyx, which implies that either the spell sort of "tells" you the target's HD or you can find them out through trial and error, as the spell would presumably fail if you attempt to use too little onyx.
