Brain Spider

For the duration of the spell, you can read the thoughts of certain creatures. When you cast the spell and as your action on each turn until the spell ends, you can focus your mind on up to eight creatures within 150 feet of you. If the creature you choose has an Intelligence of 3 or lower or doesn’t speak any language, the creature is unaffected.

When focusing on a creature or creatures you initially learn:

- A creatures surface thoughts 

-One nugget of information from all the minds regarding one particular topic thing or being

- The thoughts or memories of one creature in the group in detail

While this spell is active you can attempt to plant a suggestion (As the spell) into the mind of one of the affected creatures as a bonus action, using your spell save DC. You can do this a number of times equal to your spell casting modifier (Minimum once). Success on this saving throw does not negate the effects of Brain Spider on this creature, but  the target knows that you are probing into its mind, and unless you shift your attention to another creature’s thoughts, the creature can use its action on its turn to make an Intelligence check contested by your Intelligence check; if it succeeds, the spell ends.

Questions verbally directed at the target creature naturally shape the course of its thoughts, so this spell is particularly effective as part of an interrogation.

You can also use this spell to detect the presence of thinking creatures you can’t see. When you cast the spell or as your action during the duration, you can search for thoughts within 150 feet of you. The spell can penetrate barriers, but 2 feet of rock, 2 inches of any metal other than lead, or a thin sheet of lead blocks you. You can’t detect a creature with an Intelligence of 3 or lower or one that doesn’t speak any language.

Once you detect the presence of a creature in this way, you can read its thoughts for the rest of the duration as described above, even if you can’t see it, but it must still be within range.
