Reincarnation Sight

This spell reveals the presence of a reincarnated character. Using a piece of clothing belonging to the original character, the priest can use this spell to discover the reincarnation of that character's name appearance and approximate location.

If found, a reincarnation has only vague memories of his past and is unlikely to recognize any of his compatriots. The spell can cross planar barriers but it cannot penetrate barriers like conceal lifeforce or amulets of life protection. A second use of this spell is to reveal to a person all of the memories of one of his reincarnations. The priest needs merely to touch the subject to knows all that his past life contained. Using the two uses of this spell in order can reacquaint old friends at least in a superficial way. (Note that these spells allow a slain PC to rejoin the campaign with memories intact, and perhaps level and abilities also: see the Vedic reincarnation table on page 490.)

Notes: Common for priests from a vedic (Indian) setting.
