You attempt to project a memory from the target which they experienced within the last 14 days. The target must succeed on an Intelligence saving throw or fall unconscious for the duration. On a failed save, the target's mind is breached, allowing the caster to search and replay a memory experienced by the target. If the target never experienced the described memory, the spell fails. For example, the caster may want to find the most recent conversation the target had with an accomplice or replay a secret confession, but if these never happened, the spell ends. If the DM determines the memory was experienced by the target, a snapshot of the memory up to 10 minutes in length is resolved. If the target takes damage during the duration, the spell ends.

A resolved memory is projected from the target as described in the Major Image spell. The memory is viewed from the perspective of an omniscient observer that can move within 30 feet of the target as they appear in the memory. The observer perceives everything the same way a human would. The caster can change the perspective at will for the duration, including locking the observer to the point of view of the target such that the projection is an exact replay of what the target perceived. A cone of soft blue and purple light emanates from the target's eyes and mouth towards the direction of the illusion. Commoners know that the memory displayed is a real recount of what happened.

After the spell ends, the target doesn't remember anything after the minute prior to the spell's effects, except for a brief flashback to their most comforting experience before falling unconscious.
