Tether Sense

You reach out with unseen threads, brushing the soul-threads of those nearby. You feel their presence, their moods — and if they lie.

• School: Divination

• Casting Time: 1 action

• Range: 30 feet (self-centered aura)

• Components: V, S

• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

• Target: Self

For the duration, you can sense the presence of emotional disturbance within 30 feet — such as fear, hostility, guilt, or malice.

You gain advantage on:

• Insight checks to determine if someone is lying or hiding something

• Perception checks to notice creatures actively hiding or sneaking

The spell does not read thoughts, but gives a thread-level awareness of intent and tension.
