I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'finder of water' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'more angelic' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are comparative adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for diviner that I've seen before include "More sacred" , "one conjectures" , "even more delightful" , "more godlike" , "A soothsayer" .)
