You enter a Trance State while holding a fragment or piece of the body you wish to interrogate. The spell allows the Necromancer to apply spiritual agony to the corpse such that it must save vs. Wisdom DC spell save or answer the Necromancers questions. If the Necromancer chooses to torture the spirit for up to a 10 Minutes with each question, the spirit will be at a Disadvantage on the save. An unwilling spirit cannot lie if they fail this save and will answer truthfully the question put to them.  The questions are mentally asked and answered and the screaming wails of the spirit during torture are heard only in the Fade or spiritual realm.

Until the spell ends, you can ask the corpse up to five questions. The corpse knows only what it knew in life, including the languages it knew. Answers are usually brief, cryptic, or repetitive. This spell doesn’t return the creature’s soul to its body, only its animating spirit. Thus, the corpse can’t learn new information, doesn’t comprehend anything that has happened since it died, and can’t speculate about future events.

There is a 20% chance that the screaming spirit will attract a creature within the Spiritual Realm

* - (A fragment of the body one wishes to talk to.)
