Starry Revelations

4-level Divination (ritual)

You create a circle of stardust around you, before spending 10 minutes communing with the stars. If you cast this spell during the day, the spell has no effect and the spell slot is wasted, but the material components remain.   You can ask the stars up to three questions about things that they might know. Considering their distance from the earth, the stars most certainly have little knowledge of the local barmaid's dishonesty towards her husband, but may well have seen a dragon skulking above the clouds high above the barmaid's hometown.   The stars can also know of any planar travel that has occured, and can inform the caster of the type of creature that travelled, when they travelled, and whether they ventured to the negative plane, the positive plane, the outer planes or any combination thereof.   The stars can only answer with one word answers, favouring "yes and no" questions. If the stars are asked a question that they would or could not know the answer to, they simply answer with "unsure" or "unclear" respectively.   If you cast this spell two or more times without taking a long rest, there is a cumulative 30% chance that the spell fails, the slot is wasted, and the components are lost.
