Wound Reading

2-level Divination (ritual)

By touching a willing, wounded creature, you gain a mental image of what inflicted the injury (a specific person, monster, trap, and so on). If the victim didn’t see what wounded him or her, you must make a successful DC 10 Wisdom (Medicine) check to gain specific information; if the check fails, you learn only the general type of the attacker (beast, fiend, monstrosity, etc.).

See the Ephermal

3-level Divination

You gain the ability to see the dreams of sleeping creatures within range. You can also see creatures that exist in the Dreamlands, such as night hags. The amount of information you learn from what you see depends on the time spent studying the subject.   One round: You determine the presence or absence of dreams.   Two rounds: You determine how many sleepers are dreaming and the emotional intensity of the dreams. You also learn the number and relative power of dream creatures within range.   Three rounds: You determine the exact nature of the dreams of one creature within range, and determine the exact location and types of dream creatures within range.   At the GM’s option, you can learn one significant fact about a dreamer for each minute you spend observing that creature’s dreams.   In settings without a Dreamland, this spell applies to the Ethereal Plane.

Speak With Objects

3-level Divination

You can communicate telepathically with objects, whether they are inanimate or animated objects and constructs. You can ask questions and receive answers from objects. An inanimate object’s sense of its surroundings is quite limited, so it can’t give detailed descriptions of creatures, recognize specific individuals, or answer questions about events outside its immediate vicinity. They are most attuned to sound (vibration) and touch, but have very limited or nonexistent vision. They can sense powerful smells, but nothing subtle. Inanimate objects seldom volunteer information; they only respond to direct questions.   The spell doesn’t make animated objects or constructs more friendly or cooperative than normal. Furthermore, they don’t lead interesting inner lives and they’re prone to making comments that seem inane to sentient creatures (but might make sense within the confines of some unfamiliar logic). If an animated object or construct is friendly toward the caster, it probably is willing to do a favor or service for the caster, within its limited ability (as determined by the GM).

Circle of Scrying

4-level Divination

You empower a magic circle that links to sigils of seeing you previously created. You can select a number of sigils up to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). The distance between the circle of scrying and the sigils of seeing is not a factor, and the sigils can even be on other planes of existence. When you stand inside your circle of scrying, you can view the area around any of the linked sigils as if you were actually standing at the location of the sigil. You can switch between different sigils as an action.     The casting time for the spell depends on whether the circle is being drawn anew or a previously placed, permanent circle is being empowered. Drawing a new circle takes one day. Empowering a previously placed, permanent circle takes 1 minute.     Drawing a new circle requires material components costing 250 gold pieces. The circle is typically a flat design of a geometric shape with a 5-foot radius.     A sigil of seeing is created spending one minute drawing the sigil on a flat surface. Each sigil requires special ink that costs 100 gold pieces per sigil. The sigil disappears within moments of being drawn, but it reappears when you are scrying through it. A sigil is typically no more an inch in diameter. While a sigil is in use, it can be noticed by anyone who examines the spot where it’s drawn and makes a successful DC 10 Wisdom (Perception) or Intelligence (Investigation) check. While the sigil isn’t in use, finding it requires a deliberate search of the correct area and a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell saving throw DC.

Portrait

4-level Divination

You create a picture of the last creature to have touched an object you can see within range. The picture appears to be an oil painting on canvas, representing the creature as it appeared when it touched the object; as a result, the spell can be deceptive if the creature was disguised or had an illusory appearance. The spell will not function if the object was last touched more than a week ago.

Track Magic

4-level Divination

You gain the ability to track magical auras. You can follow the trail of any creature that is affected by ongoing spells or is carrying magical items. You must still make Wisdom (Survival) checks to follow the trail, but terrain and weather conditions have no effect on your tracking ability.
