Choose a creature that you can see. You spend the duration of the casting time interacting with them. This can be in any way you like, but it must include at least one small conversation, about 5 minutes of talking, which serves as the Vocal component for this spell. If you ever are farther than the range of this spell, the spell fails. After the casting time, if the spell succeeds, you learn the creature's race, family line up to the target's grandparents, and the current age of all such creatures. If any of the creatures in the lineage are deceased, you learn that they are dead and their age at their death instead of their current age. This spell overrides the effects of a 1st or 2nd level spell that would otherwise hide these facts. If the target is under spell effects of 3rd level or higher, the information you gather is subject to the GM.
If the creature has an Intelligence of 4 or less, the spell fails. If you and the creature do not share a spoken or written language, the spell fails.
