Echoes of the Dead

You summon spiritual echoes from the memories of a corpse you can touch, recreating the moment just before it died. The corpse must still be in the same location as it was when it died.

Until the spell ends, intangible echoes are summoned within 30 ft. of the corpse that recreate the last minute before the corpse was killed, showing all creatures that were near the target corpse when it died and what they were doing just before the target died. These echoes are made of grey shadows and are mostly featureless, with the only discernable characteristics being the creature's general build and major physical features such as horns, tails, missing limbs, etc. Inanimate objects and magic unrelated to the target creature's death do not appear in the echoes, but those that were (murder weapons, spells that dealt the killing blow) appear as its own echo. If the killer was more than 30 ft. away from the corpse when they killed it they do not appear as an echo, but the method of how they killed the corpse, such as an arrow or blast of magic, would appear once it was within 30 ft.

Throughout the duration of the spell, you can control the echoes as they replay the last minute of the creature's life by looping the last minute, stopping the echoes in place, and making the echoes go in reverse, as well as controlling the speed of the echoes.
