Call Spirit

This spell allows the savant to summon forth the spirit of a dead human or demihuman, which is bound to answer all questions fully and truthfully. While the spell is in effect, anyone who speaks (other than the savant or the spirit) breaks the spell and causes the spirit to return from whence it came. While the spirit answers truthfully, its knowledge may be limited.

The material components are a relic of the deceased, or some fragment of a personal possession of the deceased. An iron censer is also required, in which must be burnt incense of a minimum value of 100 gp per level of the deceased. Failure to burn sufficient incense causes the spell to fail.
