Mind-Search (VH)

Regular; Resisted by Will 
Search a subject’s mind to find deep thoughts and knowledge of things the subject is not thinking about at the moment. In effect, the caster may ask one simple question (answered by no more than 10 words) per minute, and get the most truthful answer the subject can give. The subject is not aware of the intrusion, except in case of a critical failure. 
Language is no barrier for this spell, and the subject may even be asleep. Subjects of different races may be harder to mind-search, at the GM’s discretion.

Modifiers: Same as Mind-Reading. If the subject has magically been caused to forget something, this spell cannot recover it.

Duration: 1 minute. 
Cost: 6 to cast. 3 to maintain. 
Time to cast: 1 minute. 
Prerequisite: Mind-Reading.

Item 
Cap, crown, helmet, or other headgear. Usable only by mages.  
Energy cost to create: 1,500.
