I'm a player in a campaign where my character is part of a small group of heroes that have been shoved into a huge plot to bring demons into the world and tasked with stopping it. Lots of monster slaying on the side, too, it seems. My character is the son of a necromancer and on a quest of redemption. Here's the thing: I'm playing as a Celestial Patron Warlock and for plot reasons I died and was brought back. My character's intent was to plead with Mystra for magical power to bring good into the world. He wasn't sure if Mystra was his patron to begin with, and now he's really concerned. (Karsus' Folly and other normal lore isn't a thing here, BTW.)
Anyway, my character wants to try and commune with Mystra, but I have neither the Commune nor the Gate spells to just walk up to a goddess and have a chat. Also, I want a bit better answers than the yes/no nature of Commune. My DM has stated that if I get really clever with it, I'll be able to talk to Mystra in character and get a couple answers. This is important to get clues for multiple plotlines. I drew up what is essentially a transmutation circle based on her holy symbol, but I have no real ideas for a ritual that would work. Does anyone have any ideas for what I could do? My ideas are pretty weak and I don't think they'll get me anywhere. Any help is much appreciated.
If you have the in game time you can attempt praying to her during her Holy Day and Time in this circle, perhaps while making a particular sacrifice that would please her. To be honest, if you've got that time, you probably have time to visit one of her temples, which is an easier and more likely successful option in my opinion.
