2-level Divination
Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 15 feet
Components: V, S, M
Materials: a magnifying glass
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
As part of casting this spell, and as an action on a later turn, you
speak a question seeking knowledge, which flows through the
text of all scrolls, books, tomes, tablets, and other written
documents in a 5-foot cube within range.
Each document that contains relevant information rises into the
air and moves harmlessly to a prominent position within the cube,
where it floats for the duration or until you select another cube.
The document also opens, unfurls, or unrolls to display
information relevant to the question. Until the spell ends or you
choose another cube, that information glows faintly, shedding dim
light in a 5-foot radius in a color of your choice while the
document is open, and no light when closed. When the spell ends
or you choose another cube, all animated documents within the
cube return harmlessly to their original positions.
The relevancy of information revealed is determined by the
DM, but is always applicable to the intended meaning rather than
merely matching keywords from the question. The spell cannot
open locked books or open clasps or other fasteners that require
more than 5 lbs. of force to open. If the floating texts are moved
within the cube, they float harmlessly at their current position. If
moved outside the cube or you choose a different cube, they no
longer float, but the glowing text remains until the spell ends.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of
3rd level or higher, you can maintain one additional target cube at
the same time for each spell slot level above 2nd.
