1st-level divination (ritual)
Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: Touch
Components: S, M (a magnifying glass, monocle, or other 'kind of sight-enhancing glass)
Duration: Instantaneous
You learn a summary of the contents of one written object that you touch, such as a book, scroll, journal, ledger, spellbook, tablet, or magically inscribed text.
The writing can be mundane or magical, but it must still be a written object. You learn the broad structure and contents of the work, including chapter summaries, major themes, key names, repeated symbols, and any important details you were specifically looking for.
This spell does not copy the text into your memory word-for-word. It does not allow you to prepare spells from a spellbook, activate magical writing, bypass magical locks, break curses, or reveal text that is hidden by illusion, encryption, or magic beyond your ability to perceive.
Casting this spell on the same object again does not reveal new information unless the object has changed or you are searching for a different specific detail.
