Mind Crystal

Attunes a gem or crystal (of at least 250gp value) to the subtly radiating energies of living minds, allowing the caster to detect the presence of creatures and perceive their thoughts.

Focus for 1 Turn: To pick up thoughts, the caster must hold the crystal aloft and focus their concentration in a particular direction for 1 Turn without moving.

After 1 Turn: The crystal projects the thoughts of all creatures within range in the chosen direction into the caster’s mind.

Multiple creatures: If multiple creatures are within range in the direction being focused on, the caster perceives an incomprehensible mix of all their thoughts. If the caster focuses for an additional Turn, they can isolate a single creature’s thoughts.

Obstructions: This spell is blocked by 2′ of rock or a thin layer of lead.
