Casting Difficulty: Target's Mystic Defense (TMD)
Range: 10 yards
Duration: Spellcasting rank rounds
Effect: Interrogate spirit
This spell forces a spirit, whether previously summoned or free (this cannot affect bound or tasked spirits), to answer questions truthfully. A hostile or aggressive spirit must be restrained through Spirit Hold or similar to be affected by this spell and it cannot target spirits actively engaged in combat. Casting it on any spirit doesn't improve their mood and makes any subsequent dealings with the spirit more difficult.
The spellcaster makes a Spellcasting test against the spirit’s Mystic Defense.
If successful, each success allows the spellcaster to ask one question, which the spirit must answer truthfully to the best of its ability (though it can tell half-truths). Each question takes at least one round to ask. If the spell ends before the spellcaster asks all the questions allowed, the remaining questions are lost.
This spell doesn't give the spellcaster the ability to communicate with the spirit; Spirit Talk or similar may be necessary for that.
Whether successful or not, this spell may only be cast on a given spirit once per lunar cycle.
