This spell allows the caster to cause a pool of water to reveal a specific event from the past. The image provides a perfectly clear picture with normal sounds, as if the caster were present at the scene. The image continues for the duration of the spell.
Time pool will not reveal images from planes of existence that you are not currently in.
The spell's success is not automatic. The caster must know the general nature of the event they wish to view and it must be a specific event that happened.
Make a DC 20 Wisdom Check to attempt to activate the Time Pool, stating what specific event you wish to see.
You add modifiers to the Wisdom Check, modified as follows:
- +1 for each point of the caster's Wisdom above 15.
- +3 if the caster has successfully used Time Pool to observe the same event before.
- +3 if the event is one in which the caster participated.
- +2 if the caster is well informed about the event, or +1 if the caster is slightly informed about the event.
- -5 for each Age older then the one you are currently in. (An Age is a distinct period of history in the world)
- -10 if you are not originally from the Plane you are attempting to see the past of.
The caster cannot communicate or otherwise interact with the image. Spells cannot be cast into the time pool.
* - (a suitable pool of water and a pinch of powdered quartz)
