This is essentially telepathy with a corpse, as the wizard probes the brain of the deceased for specific data. The DM must decide if the information sought is basic, well known, merely known, or forgotten. The table below lists the chance of finding the information and the amount of time required by the search (if location is in fact possible), but the DM can alter these numbers if the body is in a particularly advanced state of decomposition.

	Type of	Chance of	Time
	Information	Finding	Required	Examples
	Basic	96%	1	Name and profession
	Well Known	70%	2d4	Relating to
				current mission
	Known	30%	3d4	Relating to
				previous missions
	Forgotten	2%	1d10+10	Overheard once

This spell will continue as long as the wizard concentrates, but on every round there is a 1% chance of that he will go insane. The material component is a pair of metal helmets, linked by a copper wire.
