Commune With The City

5th-level divination (ritual)

Casting Time:10 minutes

Range:Self

Components:V, S, M (a map of the settlement you are in)

Duration:1 minute

You draw upon the gestalt knowledge of all the residents of the settlement and ask up to three yes-or-no questions pertaining to the community in some way. You must ask your questions before the spell ends. If someone in the settlement knows the correct answer, you receive a correct answer for the question; otherwise you receive no answer at all. So if you cast the spell and ask, “Is the box of shadows within the Tower of (insert name)?” you will get an answer only if someone in the local community knows the answer. The local people whose knowledge provides these answers are unaware that the magic is using their knowledge, even if only one person knows the answer. You can cast this spell only within a settlement that is home to at least one hundred people.
