You touch the head of a willing creature, or a corpse of a creature that died no longer than a week ago, and pull a memory out of them. If the creature is alive, the memory is the one creature is focusing on or has in their surface thoughts. If the creature is dead, it is the last moment they saw before they died.

Once the memory is pulled out, you create an illusion of the events from the creature's point of view, in a 5-foot cube next to you. The memory is at most 5 minutes long. You can play, pause or rewind the memory at your will. At the end of the duration of the spell, you can end the spell, or use a Magic action to record it on an empty vellum page, suitable for a spell scroll or a spell book. The recorded memory lasts on the page until destroyed or dispelled, and can be repeated on the page with a Magic action.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th or higher, the memory can be pulled from a creature that has died more than a week ago.
