Sanguine Interrogation

2-level Divination (ritual)

Casting Time 1 minute
Range Touch
Duration Instantaneous
Components V, S, M
Materials a piece of parchment, a vial of blood or a bloodstain

You learn specific information by magically retrieving the answers from a living or dead creature’s blood. You can cast the spell on dried or fresh blood. You must touch the vial of blood or bloodstain while casting this spell. If the blood is from a living or undead creature, they must make a Wisdom save. On a failed save, or if the target is dead, the answers to the following questions appear on the piece of parchment:   • The target’s most commonly used name, if any.   • The target’s gender, race or creature type, and profession or role.   • A brief account of how the blood was shed, to the best of the target’s knowledge.   • How long ago the blood was shed.   The answers always appear in a language you know, even if you do not share a language with the target.

Class(es): Bard, Cleric, Paladin, Wizard
