Unkarsh's Unraveling

By touching a creature, object, or location, you follow its path back through time, unraveling the path of its destiny. You must remain in contact with the target throughout the casting of the spell. After casting the spell, you fall into a meditative state and are incapacitated and prone while you experience visions of the target's history. The spell ends early if you dismiss the visions or take damage, at which point you snap back to consciousness.

Creature reading. An unwilling target may make a wisdom saving throw to prevent the spell's effect. On a success, the target becomes immune to this spell for 24 hours. On a failure, you experience significant moments of the target's life. You watch firsthand from the target's perspective and feel their emotional reactions to the events you witness. You might learn what the target's childhood was like, why they chose one career over another, how they met their spouse or mentor, their greatest fear, or what their motivations are, along with any recent events they've participated in and anything currently weighing on their mind. Any memories implanted in their mind by a Modify Memory spell is experienced from a third person perspective without the emotional component.

Object reading. You learn about the item's most recent owner, as well as the most significant events the object was involved in. You learn where and when the object was created, and by whom. You also learn how the previous owner acquired the item and how they lost it.

Location reading. You experience visions of significant events that occurred in the location you cast the spell, beginning with the most recent and working backwards. The events that stand out in a location's history are usually those tied to significant emotions, such as battles, weddings, births, deaths, and betrayals. You may also experience visions of more mundane events that are pertinent to your current situation.
