Memory Read
This spell allows the priest to read the memory
of a single subject. The priest experiences the
memory with the same intensity as the subject.
The time required to view a memory is one-
fiftieth of the time that the actual event lasted.
Thus, a priest can view the memory of an event
that lasted for one hour in a little more than one
round. The subject experiences the memory at
the same time the caster reads it.
The subject must have an Intelligence score of 5
or more and must remain within range of the
priest throughout the time it takes to read the desired memory. Priests can cast this spell on unconscious, sleeping, held, or paralyzed creatures.
The subject receives a saving throw when the
priest casts the spell (this saving throw is allowed
even if the subject is asleep or otherwise unaware
of the attempt). In addition, if the memory that
the priest wants to view concerns something the
subject wants to keep secret, or is something that
the subject is trying to suppress, the subject receives a +5 bonus to the saving throw. If the
memory the priest wishes to view is more than six
months old, the subject receives a second saving
throw, with bonuses depending on the age of the
memory as shown on the table:
If the subject succeeds either of these saving
throws, the spell fails.
This spell creates a mental drain on the priest,
causing him to temporarily lose 1-3 points of
Constitution. These can be regained only after
eight hours of rest. The spell cannot be cast again
until the priest's constitution is restored.
The material component is consumed during
the casting.
