Reciting the date you focus on and dusting the area, the crystals in the dust bending the light. Soon a kaleidoscopic blur forms, only to coalesce into a full scale image from the past.

This spell recreates a location from the past. The caster decides on a date in the past and casts the spell. A semi-transparent image of the area as it appeared at the desired time appears, with everything in its original scale and location. This image is an obvious illusion, and is transparent and neither hinders nor helps vision. It cannot provide light, darkness, or concealment. It can, however, be studied in order to learn salient details from the past. It is correct down to reasonable detail, but anything that would normally require a Search roll to find, such as hidden traps or secret doors, is not shown. Neither are creatures or objects that are not furnishings.

Material component: A handful of quartz dust.
