You perform a rite over a corpse you can see within range, summoning a vestige of its spirit and compelling it to answer questions. It must have a mouth or other means of speaking, can’t be undead, and can’t have been the target of this spell within the past 10 days.
Until the spell ends, the corpse will answer up to five questions using the knowledge it possessed before its death. Its responses are typically brief, cryptic, or puzzling, but it will not lie or refuse to answer.
