Every place that has held strong emotion or significant event keeps a residue of it — not memory exactly, but impression. The stones remember what passed between them. You know how to ask.

You touch a location, object, or corpse and receive a vision of the most significant event that occurred involving it within the past 30 days. The vision is sensory: you see, hear, and feel the impression of what happened, but you cannot interact with it.

The vision lasts up to 1 minute of perceived time and cannot be extended. After the vision ends, you gain the following from the GM:

• The number of creatures present during the event.
• The emotional tenor of the event (violent, fearful, celebratory, secretive).
• One specific concrete detail of the GM's choosing relevant to the event.

You may cast this spell on the same location or object multiple times, but each casting only ever reveals one event per cast, and repeated casts on the same object do not reveal the same event twice.
