You contact a deceased ancestor and ask up to three questions that can be answered with a yes or no. You must ask your questions before the spell ends. You receive a correct answer for each question.
Your ancestors' spirits aren't necessarily omniscient, so you might receive "unclear" as an answer if a question pertains to information that lies beyond their knowledge. In a case where a one-word answer could be misleading or contrary to the ancestor's interests, the GM might offer a short phrase as an answer instead. Learning the identity of the ancestor that you contact uses one of the three questions you can ask with this spell.
Whenever you cast this spell, there is a 20% chance that the ancestor you contact has an alignment directly opposed to your own.
If you cast the spell two or more times before finishing your next long rest, there is a cumulative 25 percent chance for each casting after the first that you get no answer. The GM makes this roll in secret.
