Whispers of the Past

You focus your mind on the very essence of time passing through the focus. Within a 30 foot square centred on the focus, beams of light emanating from the focus form green holographic images, that play out an historical event that happened within the confines of the square.

• At 3rd level, you may view a 5 minute sequence of events that happened no longer than 1 hours ago.
• At 4th level, you may view a 5 minute sequence of events that happened no longer than 6 hours ago.
• At 5th level, you may view a 5 minute sequence of events that happened no longer than 1 day ago.
• At 6th level, you may view a 5 minute sequence of events that happened no longer than 8 weeks ago. Casting this spell this way is incredibly taxing on the mind, and you must succeed a wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or take a d6 psychic damage for each week of history accessed beyond 1 week, and you become insane until you finish a long rest. While insane, you can’t take actions, can’t understand what other creatures say, can’t read, and speak only in gibberish. A greater restoration spell cast on you ends this effect.
• At 7th level, you may view a 5 minute sequence of events that happened no longer than 12 months ago. Casting this spell this way is incredibly taxing on the mind, and you must succeed a wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or take a d8 psychic damage for each month of history accessed beyond 1 month, and you become insane until you finish a long rest. While insane, you can’t take actions, can’t understand what other creatures say, can’t read, and speak only in gibberish. A greater restoration spell cast on you ends this effect.
• At 8th level, you may view a 5 minute sequence of events that happened no longer than 10 decades ago. Casting this spell this way is incredibly taxing on the mind, and you must succeed a wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or take a d10 psychic damage for each decade of history accessed beyond 10 years, and you become insane until you finish a long rest. While insane, you can’t take actions, can’t understand what other creatures say, can’t read, and speak only in gibberish. A greater restoration spell cast on you ends this effect.
• At 9th level, you may view a 1 hour sequence of events that happened in any previous timescale of your choosing. Casting this spell this way is incredibly taxing on the mind, and you must succeed a wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or take a d12 psychic damage for each millennium of history accessed beyond 1000 years, and you become insane until you finish a long rest. While insane, you can’t take actions, can’t understand what other creatures say, can’t read, and speak only in gibberish. A greater restoration spell cast on you ends this effect.
