You can see and hear a particular creature of your choice that is on the same Plane of Existence as you. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw, modified by how well you know the target and the sort of physical connection you have to it. If it knows you’re casting this spell, it can voluntarily forgo the saving throw if it wants to be observed.
| Knowledge | Save Modifier |
|---|---|
| Secondhand (you've heard of the target) | 5 |
| Firsthand (you know the target) | 0 |
| Familiar (you know the target well) | -5 |
| Connection | Save Modifier |
|---|---|
| Likeness or picture | -2 |
| Possession or garment | -4 |
| Body part, lock of hair, bit of nail, or the like | -10 |
On a success, the target is unaffected, and you can’t use this spell against it again for 24 hours.
On a failure, the spell creates an invisible sensor within 10 feet of the target. You can see and hear through the sensor as if you were there. The sensor moves with the target, staying within 10 feet of it for the duration of the spell. A creature that can see invisible objects sees the sensor as a luminous orb about the size of a fist.
Instead of targeting a creature, you can choose a location you have seen before as the target of this spell. When you do, the sensor appears at the location and doesn’t move.
