Useful for finding archaeological items lost in history for excavation and studying lore, or casing a building before a heist. Based off ground penetrating radar and hooks up to glove to send a electromagnetic pulse. Using technology and magic to enhance the electromagnetic waves with divination magic and enhance findings detected. With an action, the caster can sends a pulse of vibrations from their hand into the ground or solid building and sense any reflected energy against objects within range. This will give an outline of said object and the caster will sense any moving creatures or objects as well. A rogue casting this spell must make a straight DEX check to see how well they are able to map what they sense onto paper.

Knowledge drawn |
|---|---|
| 20+ | Can identify individuals you've used this spell on before with certainty. Exact outline of buildings like blueprints (may include secret doors subject to DM approval) and shapes of objects that touch some surface (floor/wall/ceiling). Get out silhouette outline of any object within range. |

| 11-15 | Can identify a shape is moving if they move during spell. Unable to tell anything specific of living moving creature. Confident you captured most of the building (may have missed a room or hallway or two). Able to tell an object's size (large/medium/small, but silhouette is hazy). |
| 6-10 | Picture you drew shows large buildings and objects of huge or larger, but unable to determine anything of medium or smaller size. |
| 1-5 | Yo drawings suck. There are objects and a building. Good luck, you suck. |

Posted Feb 20, 2023Spell is a work in progress, so feel free to provide feedback. We were tasked in our school campaign to create a spell for a common non-magic class (i.e., rogue, barbarian, fighter) using their most important stat. In my case for rogue, dexterity. Idea is the added material and spell components along with science will help direct the rogue's "magical energy" to cast the spell, but it will rely on the rogue's dex ability to draw a useful image of what they see from the magical electromagnetic transmitted pulse as their mind acts as the receiver antenna of reflected energy which will produce the image. Then, if they roll high enough on dex (not sure if maybe a more specific check like slight of hand, or performance using dex), they will have useful information from the spell in the form of a map with almost no detail of lots of details of objects/people in the targeted area.
