Death is a traumatic event, especially when the spirit has unfinished business. You grant the semblance of life and intelligence to a corpse of your choice within range, allowing it to share their final thoughts. The corpse is filled with warmth and happiness, allowing it to reflect on its life in a positive fashion. The corpse must still have a mouth, and the spell fails if the corpse was the target of this spell (or the Speak with Dead spell) previously.
Until the spell ends, the corpse is allowed to speak freely and may entertain a conversation. The corpse is allowed to leave the conversation at any point, thus terminating the spell. The corpse knows only what it knew in life, including the languages it knew. The corpse can answer questions if it wishes, however it may decline if it does not wish to answer the question. The corpse is under no compulsion to offer a truthful answer if you are hostile to it or it recognizes you as an enemy. This spell doesn't return the creature's soul to its body, only its animating spirit. Thus, the corpse can't learn new information, doesn't comprehend anything that has happened since it died, and can't speculate about future events.
