Detection (...)

You magically examine a corpse you touch to uncover its cause of death. If it has been dead for longer than 30 days, the spell fails. You learn the following information:

  • The type(s) of weapon(s) that damaged the creature in the minute leading up to its death, if any. If you use a suspected weapon as a material component, you will know if it was the exact weapon used.
  • The schools of magic of harmful spells cast on the creature in the minute leading up to its death, if any.
  • What damage types the creature sustained in the minute leading up to its death, if any.
  • Any diseases the creature had at the time of death.
  • What actions the creature performed in the minute leading up to its death. You will know the exact movements that the body performed, but you do not learn any other context or perceive what the creature perceived. For example, you may be able to tell that it handed something to another creature based on its movements, but you won’t know what was given or who the other creature was.
* - (a pair of forceps; optionally, a weapon suspected of being used in the killing)
