Description: By tapping into the remnants of recent events, the caster can replay echoes of what transpired within a ten foot area within the last 10 minutes. For the duration, the caster perceives ghostly, translucent images and faint whispers that reveal the movement, general actions, and identities of creatures that were present. The spell clarifies facial features, allowing the caster to recognize individuals as long as their faces were visible at the time. However, it does not provide exact words spoken, unless the caster has proficiency in reading lips.
The spell does not reveal creatures or objects that were invisible or concealed by magical means, unless the caster had a means of detecting them at the time of the event (e.g., using See Invisibility or a similar effect). Additionally, effects like disguise self used at the time will appear as they did during the original events.
For each spell level cast above 1st, the caster can extend the timeframe by an additional 10 minutes, allowing them to view echoes of events further into the past.
Limitations:
- The spell cannot detect illusions, reveal invisible creatures (unless they were visible to the caster at that time), or provide information beyond the range of the area of effect.
- The spell only captures what the caster’s current senses can interpret; it does not enhance perception beyond normal capabilities.
.Flavor Text:
"The past never truly fades; it leaves echoes for those who know how to listen."
