Extract Thoughts in Dungeons & Dragons 5e

Codex of Psychosis

Extract Thoughts

6-level Enchantment

Casting Time: 1 action

Range/Area: Touch

Components: V, S

Duration: Instantaneous

You enter into the mind of a creature within range, as you forcefully extract a strand of knowledge from their head. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the creature takes 5d10 psychic damage, its incapacitated until the end of your next turn, and you learn one piece of information within the target's memory of an event that it experienced within the last 24 hours and that lasted no more than 10 minutes. The damage can't reduce the target's hit points below 1. On a success, the target takes half as much damage and suffers no other effects.

At higher levels: If you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, you can learn one piece of information from the target's memories of an event that took place up to 7 days ago (6th level), 30 days ago (7th level), 1 year ago (8th level), or any time in the creature's past (9th level).

Available for: Bard, Necromancer, Sorcerer, Warlock, Witch, Wizard
