You summon a spiritual presence across the veil, granting you a private audience with the departed. The spirit of a creature that died within the past 100 years manifests before you, provided you are within 30 feet of their body, resting place, or a location deeply tied to their life.
Only you can see and hear the spirit, which appears as a translucent version of how it looked in life. For the duration, you may converse freely with the spirit, which retains its personality, voice, and memories. It is under no obligation to be truthful or helpful, and may react based on the circumstances of its death or its disposition toward you in life.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, you may allow one additional person to see and hear the spirit per slot level above 4th.
Limitations:
The spirit cannot be contacted again by the same caster for 30 days.
This spell does not compel truth or obedience.
Spirits of powerful creatures (CR 10+) may resist contact unless you succeed on a DC 18 Arcana check during casting.
The material component is not consumed, but must be an item with emotional significance to the deceased
* - (An item relevent to the dead individual)
