Thought-Taking (Blood Magic)

This spell allows a blood mage to probe deep into a target’s thoughts, uncovering their deepest secrets, desires, and fears. Targets without blood or some similar substance are not affected by this spell. You must touch a target’s forehead and concentrate for one minute, during which time the target makes a Wisdom save vs. Spellcaster DC. If successful, the caster fails to penetrate their mind. If the save fails, the caster may ask a total number of questions equal to their spellcasting ability modifier, at a rate of one question per minute. This spell is often quite painful for the target even though it deals no actual damage. Following the probe the target falls unconscious. When they awake they make a second wisdom save, if they fail they remember nothing of the ritual that just occurred.
