This spell makes the subject feel talkative, understood, and confessional, and makes you seem trustworthy and empathetic in the subject's eyes. When cast successfully, the spell typically results in the subject spilling secret information about past crimes, lovers, political intrigues, and so forth. The information provided can be sometimes prompted by you, though doing so requires a Diplomacy check (DC 10 + the subject's Sense Motive modifier).

The target suffers a -2 circumstance penalty on her save if she is drunk or otherwise intoxicated and an additional -4 penalty if she is under the influence of a charm spell. A successful save makes the target even more than usually suspicious of you. A target that succeeds on her save cannot be targeted by you with this spell for at least one day plus one additional day for each 5 points by which the save result exceeded the Difficulty Class.

Arcane material component: A set of wooden prayer beads worth 10 shillings.
