A Glass Darkly

6th-level Divination

"For now we see as through a glass darkly, but then we shall see face to face. Now I know partially, then shall I know fully."
1 Corinthians 13:12

Casting Time: Magic action

Range: Touch

Components: V, S

Duration: 1 hour

You touch a willing creature and speak words in an angelic tongue, granting the creature the ability to see the influences from beyond the veil. For the duration, the creature can see into the spiritual realm, noticing angels, demons, and other spiritual creatures that would normally be invisible to the mortal eye out to a range of 120 feet. The creature is also aware of the presence of angels or demons who are disguised by magic, or who have a physical form or simulacrum that would otherwise be undetectable out to a range of 120 feet.

Additionally, you can see a faint glow around creatures who are actively telling a lie or withholding important information, and a faint glow around creatures who have a deeply buried secret. The stronger the feeling of guilt (or the more the secret is eating away at them), the stronger the glow becomes.
