In the tapestry of time, the "Celestial Accord of the Ancients" weaves a connection between the caster and the long-forgotten wisdom of bygone eras. Invoking this spell, you reach out to the celestial forces that have witnessed the rise and fall of ancient civilizations, seeking their guidance and knowledge.

Upon casting, you enter a trance-like state, your consciousness transcending the mortal realm to commune with celestial entities. These entities, guardians of ancient secrets and lore, impart to you knowledge lost to the ages. For the spell's duration, you gain the following benefits:

Ancient Knowledge: You gain proficiency in two skills or tools of your choice, which must be related to ancient civilizations or their technologies. If you already have proficiency in these skills or tools, your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies.

Celestial Insight: You can ask the celestial entities up to three questions. The answers must be about facts or events of ancient civilizations, lost artifacts, forgotten languages, or similar topics. The answers are brief and cryptic but always true.

Timeless Vision: For the duration, you can see into the Ethereal Plane and have advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects that manipulate time, such as "Slow" or "Time Stop".

Once the spell ends, you must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, you are overwhelmed by the vastness of the knowledge imparted and are stunned for 1 minute as your mind reels from the experience.

However, the depth of knowledge gained can be as overwhelming as it is enlightening, requiring a sound mind to comprehend and withstand the celestial revelations. This spell epitomizes the connection between the mortal realm and the celestial watchers of history.
