Effect: When this spell is CAST, the M-U sends his or her mind to another plane of existence in order to receive advice and info from powers there.
As these powers are located
at random, and resent such contact in any case, only brief answers will
be given.
(Your DM will answer all
questions with a "yes", "no", "maybe", "never", "irrelevant", etc.)
The character can contact
an elemental plane or some plane further removed.
For every 2 levels of experience
of the magic-user one question may be asked.
Contact with minds far removed
from the plane of the M-U increases the probability
of the spell caster going insane or dying, but the chance of the power
knowing the answer,
as well as the probability
of the being telling the correct answer,
are likewise increased by
moving to distant planes:
Plane | Likelihood of Insanity | Likelihood of Knowledge | Probability of Veracity |
Elemental | 20% | 90% | 75% |
1 removed | 5% | 60% | 65% |
2 removed | 10% | 65% | 67% |
3 removed | 15% | 70% | 70% |
4 removed | 20% | 75% | 73% |
5 removed | 25% | 80% | 75% |
6 removed | 30% | 85% | 78% |
7 removed | 35% | 90% | 81% |
8 removed | 40% | 95% | 85% |
9 or more removed | 50% | 98% | 90% |
Likelihood
of Insanity: For every 1 point of intelligence over 15, the magic user
reduces probability of insanity by 5%.
Insanity will strike as
soon as 1 question is asked.
It will last for 1 week
for each removal of the plane contacted, 10 weeks maximum.
There is a 1% chance per
plane that the magic-user will die before recovering unless a remove curse
spell is cast upon him or her.
Probability
of Veracity: If the answer is unknown, and the answer is not true,
the being will answer definitely.
If truth is indicated, it
will answer "unknown."
Elemental
Only, Likelihood of Knowledge: Assumes knowledge of questions pertaining
to the appropriate elemental plane.
