When you cast this spell, name a creature, place or object. Your scrying focus will produce images, sounds, and occasionally other sensory experiences or even emotions associated with the history of the thing that you named. These glimpses occur in a random order, will usually be cryptic, and may be outright misleading.
If the target of your spell is a living creature, they must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. They may willingly fail this check if they wish you to observe their past. If their save is successful, the spell fails.
The target gains +5 to their save if you have no item to use as a focus, +2 if you have a portrait or other representation of them, -2 if you have a possession of theirs, and -5 if you have a lock of hair, sample of their blood or other body part. Creatures who are hidden from divination magic succeed on this save automatically.
* - (25gp worth of powdered silver, which the spell consumes, and a scrying focus worth at least 100 gp)
