Servants of Firmament and Aether

The caster makes contact with one of Urhatta’s servants who may or may not be able to help the caster by giving insight into a particular problem. The spell check result effects the significance of the servant’s aid, as well as how long it takes to explain the situation to the servant. The caster may elect to take a lower spell check result if desired.
