Tal's Memory Copy

A creature you touch has their memories scoured and copied into your own memories. On a failed saving throw, you gain surface level memories of the creature for the last 24 hours. The caster does not gain access to memories which the target itself does not have access to. Surface level memories are defined as follows:

• Where the creature has been
• Who the creature has spoken to or seen
  • The caster should be able to gain some memory of conversations, how much of the conversation gains access to is at the DM's discretion
  • Who the target has seen would have to be noteworthy enough to be remembered. If the target merely passed by someone of importance but made no note of it, then the caster would not have any knowledge of the event.
• Basic memories at the DM's discretion. For example, a meal they had and how it tasted.

If the target succeeds its saving throw, then the memories are not copied. Due to the mental strain of having its memories trying to be copied into another person's it takes 1d12 psychic damage. If the damage brings the target to 1 HP then the target falls unconscious. If the damage exceeds the HP of the creature or brings it to 0, then the creature falls unconscious with 1 HP remaining. The damage manifests itself as a debilitating headache which lasts for the equivalent of 1 round. This may, at the DM's discretion, leave the creature unable to act for the duration of the headache.

If the target succeeds its save, then it can roll an arcana check to see if it can discern that a spell was cast on it. This succeeds on a 10 or higher. If the arcana check was equal to or higher than the spell DC then the target will also know the school of magic and what the caster was attempting to do.

A creature with an intelligence score of 4 or lower automatically succeeds, but cannot make an arcana check to discern what happened.

This spell may not be cast through a familiar.
