You touch an inanimate object and pray for the divine to reveal remnants of its memories of up to a week ago. When you cast this spell on an object, it reveals an answer to up to three of the following questions of your choice:

• “Who touched the object in the past week?”
• “Who last touched the object?”
• “Is it magical?”
• “Has it been moved recently?”

All of the answers provided must be true and direct, as they are given by the divine. If the answer to a question is unknown or hidden by magical means, the question is left unanswered.
