Spell Description
Infernal Library
5th Level Divination (Ritual)
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (A “library card” and an empty book, and a vial of fresh blood, which is consumed by the spell)
Duration: 1 hour
You contact a devil’s library located in the fiendish planes, using an empty book as a means of communication. For one hour, you may engage in the trade of information with some form of devilish entity on the other side, offering them knowledge in return for what they give you. After one hour, the connection to the other side will be severed, and the book will vanish into ash.
If at any point the librarian is offended or dissatisfied with the knowledge offered to them, they may choose to sever the connection. Similarly, the caster may do this at will by destroying the book used to communicate.
One should exercise caution when dealing with devils. Not all words are harmless.
Information
Etarus elucidated this ritual to Wander when the latter was trapped in the temple under Lake Faelance. He handed Wander a strange, featureless, ashen-covered card for use with the ritual in Wander's dream, which persisted in his hand when he awoke.
