By ritually sacrificing an important victim, the sorcerer can contact a demon and ask questions that can be answered by a simple yes or no. The sorcerer is allowed a number of questions equal to the victim’s Wisdom modifier, and is answered by the death-spasms and blood-spurtings of his victim. The answers given are correct within the limits of the entity’s knowledge. ‘Unclear’ is a legitimate answer, because demons are not omniscient. In cases where a one-word answer would be misleading, the Games Master should give a short phrase (five words or less) as an answer instead. The spell, at best, provides information to aid character decisions. The entities contacted structure their answers to further their own purposes. If the sorcerer does not focus on the conversation, discusses the answers at length with other parties, or leaves to undertake another task, the spell ends.

Material component: The still-living body of your victim is an essential part of this spell. You must use the MP gained from sacrificing him to fuel this spell; if sacrificing him would gain you less than 15MP, you must make up the difference yourself, but if it would gain you more than 15 MP, any extra is lost.
