Rary's Replay of the Past (Summoning)

Level: 5
Range: 0
Duration:  Special
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 turn
Saving Throw: None
Area of Effect: Special

This spell enables the caster
to read the residual psychic impressions in a room or area,
replaying a past event as an illusion that everyone in the
area can see clearly. When an especially unusual or violent
event occurs, it leaves behind psychic vibrations that
remain for years. The more important the event, the
stronger the psychic residue and the longer the impressions
last. When the mage casts the spell, the strongest
impressions currently in the area enter the caster’s mind.
The event that produced the psychic impressions is
replayed in the caster’s mind in real time, so the replay
takes as long to complete as the original event. The replay
in the mind is crystal clear, so the caster can readily identify
persons, creatures, or objects.

If the spell is cast again in the same area, the event that
created the second strongest psychic impressions will be
replayed. The caster can continue replaying past events,
reading weaker and weaker psychic impressions, until all
psychic residue in the area has been reviewed.
