This spell puts you in contact with a god or a god\u2019s servant (known as a daemon). Spirits of ancestors, spellcasters, or heroes may also be contacted. You ask one question about a specific goal, event, or activity to occur within 7 days. The DM offers a truthful reply, which might be a short phrase or cryptic rhyme. The spell doesn\u2019t account for circumstances that might change the answer, such as the casting of other spells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you cast the spell more than once before finishing a Long Rest, there is a cumulative 25 percent chance for each casting after the first that you get no answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
