    You commune with the spirit of the deceased, allowing brief conversation. The spirit retains the knowledge and personality it had in life but is not compelled to be truthful or helpful. The con- versation appears as whispered words only you can hear.

    Special

    The spirit is not compelled to answer truthfully. Its response depends on its relationship with the summoner - shared faith, opposed religions, past enmity, or divine alignment may influence whether it answers, refuses, or deceives. The DN may determine its behavior.
