Hidden Memories - Or how to enter the mind of a god

Hidden Memories
Through a significant offering, you and your friends are able to enter the memories, possibly even those forgotten, of the entity which lies in front of you.
Level: 22
Category: Divination
Time: 8 hours
Duration: Special
Component Cost: 100,000 gp
Market Price: Unique
Key Skill: Arcana

With the help of ancient arcane symbols and an enormous amount of residuum, you channel the magical weave into the subject and follow it (along with up to 8 others) into the memories of the subject. In there, you can navigate from memory to memory, even finding ancient memories that the subject had forgotten.

Let it be known that such intrusion is very dangerous, and that the subject's subconsciousness, even if completely willing, will fight you every step of the way of your journey through his memories. The stronger the subject, the stronger the subconsciousness.

While you are inside the mind of the subject, your body will stay outside, utterly helpless. You will not be aware of what happens to your body while inside the memories of the subject, unless the body is killed, in which case your mental projection will die immediately. Also be aware that only the ritual caster can end the ritual, not those he brings with him.

Should your mental projection be killed by the subconsciousness of the subject, your body will still be alive, but your brain will cease to function. In a matter of hours, your body will die as well, unless raised from the dead. And even that is tricky at best, there has been several cases where Raise Dead has not been sufficient.

After you enter the mind of the subject, you will have to make an arcana check once every 12 hours to maintain the mental projection. Failure to make the check will stop the ritual and expulse everyone from the memories of the target.

The DC to enter the mind of a subject is: Subjects level
The DC to maintain is: Subjects level +1/12 hours passed.

This ritual can be used to enter anyones mind, even that of a god. In the case of divinity and other entities as powerful, one must have 3 things to power the ritual. 1 component (Heart of Grazz't), 1 item (Evil Eye) and 1 magical focus point (unknown so far). The component is consumed in the casting and the item and the magical focus point will be drained for 1 year and 1 day. Should you wish to recast the ritual, a new component must be gathered while waiting for the item and focus point to recharge.
