This spell can create different effects that are commonly known among necromancy practitioners. You create one of the following magical effects within range:

• You create a harmless sensory effect such as masking the smell of rot and decay, or whispers in the wind, for up to 1 hour.
• Touch one object that is no larger than 1 foot in any dimension. For up to 1 hour, the object emits magical darkness in a 5-foot radius, for an additional 10 feet bright light becomes dim light, and dim light becomes darkness.
• You cause a nonliving and nonmagical object to start decaying.
• You identify if undead are able to be created or summoned within 30 feet of you, or if something would prevent it. If there is an effect that would prevent a creation or summoning, such as the Hallow spell, you can only discern that something is preventing the ability to do so and not the means of how it is being prevented.
• You gain information about a corpse or skeleton such as the race, gender, approximate age and cause of death.

If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.
