You sit down and look at the stars for answers, for meaning, and for purpose. This spell can only be cast at night with a clear view of the sky.

Roll a percentile die to know whether a reading is successful or unsuccessful. A successful reading is always truthful, and an unsuccessful reading is always unclear.

Watchful Reading: You ask if a person you are familiar with is safe or in danger. If the person is within 60 miles, the reading is successful. If the person is not within 60 miles or is in another plane of existence, roll a percentile die; if you roll a number equal to or lower than 50, the reading is unsuccessful.

Introspective Reading: You ask if an action you took in the past 24 hours was the right action to take to achieve your goal. Roll a percentile die; if you roll a number equal to or lower than 50, the reading is unsuccessful.

Personal Reading: You ask how a person you are familiar with feels about you. If the person is played by one of the players at the table, they can choose to make the reading automatically successful. Roll a percentile die; if you roll a number equal to or lower than 50, the reading is unsuccessful. If a reading is successful, you get one word that tells you how that person feels about you.

Available for: Bard, Druid, Ranger, Wizard
