Isolde's Answer

3rd-level divination

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a magical scrying device such as a crystal ball, mirror, or pool of water, which is not consumed)
Duration: Concentration, up to 2 minutes

This spell enhances a magical scrying device, allowing the caster to ask it one question and receive a visual answer. The enhanced device displays a clear scene that answers the question, provided the subject or relevant location is within the spell’s range.

Effects:

  • The caster may ask one specific question upon casting the spell, such as:
  • “Where is the object I last used?”
  • “What is happening in the throne room?”
  • “Where is the nearest source of freshwater?”
  • The scrying device shows a scene or provides a visual depiction relevant to the question, limited to the spell’s area of effect.

Range:

  • The spell has a range of 1 mile per caster level (e.g., a 5th-level wizard has a range of 5 miles).
  • If the subject of the question is outside this range, the scrying device does not provide an answer.

Limitations:

  • The scrying device must already be active and functional at the time of casting. This spell does not activate or repair a non-functional scrying device.
  • The spell cannot provide detailed or abstract information; it relies solely on showing a relevant visual scene.
  • The spell does not interpret the scene for the caster; understanding what is shown requires the caster’s insight.

At Higher Levels. When cast with a 4th-level or higher spell slot, the caster may ask one additional question for every slot level above 3rd, with each question consuming an additional minute of concentration.
