Damage/Effect
You kindle a small, smokeless flame on an object you touch. It sheds Dim Light in a 10-foot radius and can be concealed or extinguished as an object interaction. While holding the flame, you can take a Magic action to examine a bloodstain, broken object, scorch mark, or other physical trace within its light. You learn whether that trace was made within the last 24 hours and whether magic altered the trace after it was made. The spell reveals no creature’s identity, thoughts, or exact sequence of events. A given trace yields information only once from this spell, regardless of who casts it.
* - (a candle wick or a charred thread)
