Casting Time: 1 turn
Area of Effect: The caster
Saving Throw: None

This spell allows the caster to determine a truth about one thing or matter. The caster concentrates, placing in his mind a series of figures and images that, when interpreted, may yield the guidance that he or she is seeking. The chance of a meaningful answer is 75%, plus 1% per level of the caster, to a maximum of 95%. Any question can be asked, but as the questions become more complex, the DM should make the answers more allegorical and cryptic. As the priest advances in level, the answers should become more clear. With respect to other creatures or characters, the DM should compare their Hit Dice or levels to the caster's when deciding how much to reveal. Likewise, with respect to magical items, the DM should consider the level of the creator, the power of the item, and the importance of the item to campaign events when framing a response.
Once an answer has been received, the spell ends. Multiple castings of this spell will not generally add to the caster's knowledge unless significant developments have occurred since a previous casting.
This spell is granted by Meriadar to his clergy.
