This ritual spell writes an autobiography of the subject on the paper and magically binds it into a book. This book will magically update until the death of the subject. This spell includes everything that the subject has learned, regardless if the subject remembers it, as well as any secrets the subject has. The subject must be a person of notoriety or renown to a certain degree determined by the GM. If the spell is cast on a subject who is not well known, it fails immediately, consuming the materials.
No save is required for a willing participant.
If the subject is an unwilling participant, they must make an intelligence saving throw against the caster's DC to cause the ritual to fail. If the spell fails, the materials are still consumed.
If the subject is deceased, the caster must make an Insight check equal to the subject's Challenge Rating. If the spell fails, the materials are still consumed.
The spell can only be cast once on an individual's lifetime or on their corpse. Spells that bring a person back from death (i.e. Revivify, Raise Dead, ect.) do not give another chance for this spell to be cast. This spell cannot be combined with any other spell (i.e. Tongues, Speak with Dead, etc.)
* - (300 gp in paper and ink, which the spell consumes)

Posted Jun 21, 2019Rather than making it an expensive cantrip (300gp is expensive), I would have it be a 20gp 5th level spell.
