By casting "Chrono-Whispers of the Ancients," you open your mind to the temporal echoes of past wisdom and future insights. This spell allows you to connect with the continuum of time, accessing knowledge and guidance from ages long gone and those yet to unfold.

Spell Effects:

Ancient Echoes: Upon casting, you are immediately surrounded by ethereal whispers, fragments of conversations and thoughts from different eras. These whispers can provide cryptic clues or direct guidance related to specific questions you ponder. This effectively grants a +1 bonus to initiative, AC, and attack, saving throw, or skill checks made for the spells duration.
Temporal Clarity: While under the effect of the spell, your understanding of time deepens, allowing you to perceive the potential outcomes of immediate actions more clearly. This manifests as advantage on any Intelligence or Wisdom checks you make to decipher clues, solve puzzles, or recall historical information.
Future Glimpses: Once during the spell's duration as an action, you may focus on a specific event or action you plan to take within the next 24 hours. The spell provides a brief, often symbolic, vision of a possible outcome, aiding in decision-making. This insight is not definitive, as the future is always in motion, but it can guide your choices.
Echoed Guidance: Once during the spell's duration as an action, you may concentrate deeply and ask a single question about a specific historical event or figure. The spell will provide a detailed auditory hallucination that offers insight or information about the subject, as if whispered by a sage from the relevant era.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the duration of the spell increases by 5 minutes for each slot level above 4th, and you gain an additional use each of Echoed Guidance and Future Glimpses for each slot level above 4th.

"Chrono-Whispers of the Ancients" is a spell of deep introspection and consultation with the continuum of time, ideal for historians, tacticians, and those seeking guidance from the annals of history or the whispers of the future.
