Echoes of the Past

Upon casting Echoes of the Past, you attune your senses to the history of your surroundings, allowing you to witness past events that have transpired in your current location.

1. Historical Vision: You see the area around you as it was at a specific point in time, chosen when you cast the spell, within a range of up to 200 years in the past. This vision is limited to a radius of 30 feet around you and does not enable interaction with the past events.

2. Echoes of Conversation: You can hear fragments of conversations that occurred in the location during the chosen time period. These echoes provide glimpses into the past, though they may be disjointed and incomplete.

3. Temporal Insight: For the duration of the spell, you can make Intelligence (History) checks related to the observed time period with advantage.

4. Ethereal Observer: While the spell is active, you are partially shifted to the Ethereal Plane, making you invisible and intangible to those in the Material Plane. You cannot affect or be affected by anything on the Material Plane during this time.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the maximum range of years into the past increases by 100 years for each slot level above 4th.

Echoes of the Past is particularly useful for uncovering secrets, solving ancient mysteries, or understanding the historical context of a location. It offers a unique way for characters to engage with the lore of the game world directly.
