- Speaking to a dead person with it earns Dead Man Talkin'.

What it does in play
Cast it on a fresh corpse and the dead person replays the moments that led to their death. Quests use it to uncover what really happened.
How to unlock it
Anca teaches it after the sacking of Laslea. She learned it from the convent library.
Worth knowing
Keep mementos you find. An object tied to the dead person, like something they loved or the last thing they saw, makes the spell work better.
