This spell allows the spell caster to turn the component into a magical tome of knowledge for the next hour. The spellcaster can then look up the answer to any basic knowledge they name provided they can make a the appropriate skill check. All skill checks are made at +10 and with advantage. Checks are limited to:
Animal Handling(Wis) Arcana (Int) History(Int) Medicine(Wis) Nature(Wis) Religion(Int) Survival(Wis)
For example a caster what kind of food Hippogriffs like (Animal Handling), how to extract cockatrice tears (Arcana), what happened to the lost city of Quora (History), how to cure cackle fever (Medicine), how cold is the Goldenoak forest in fall (Nature), what god has the holy symbol of a red ax (Religion), or are red berries with white dots safe to eat (Survival).
One question can be looked up in one minute. Information given is still determined by the DM, some information may be just too obscure. Failure indicates not that the information isn't in the tome but that the caster can't find it. A question can only be cast once per casting. Once the hour is over the component tome disintegrates into dust.
* - (a Leatherbound tome of at least 100 gp)
