Effects
​By touching the remains of a dead creature, this spell allows a caster to gain a mental image of the deceased's former appearance. The remains can be of any age and only a tiny fragment is required, such as a bone splinter or a strand of hair. When cast by a wizard of at least 7th level, he is able to view the final minute of the subject's life from the subject's point of view.​ ​When cast by a wizard of at least 9th level, a personal possession (a ring, a favorite walking stick, etc.) may be substituted for bodily remains. ​
