\subsection{Contact Other Plane}\label{contact-other-plane}

\emph{5th---level divination (ritual)}

  \textbf{Duration:} 1 minute
\end{itemize}

You mentally contact a demigod. the spirit of a long-dead sage. or some
other mysterious entity from another plane. Contacting this extraplanar
intelligence can strain or even break your mind. When you cast this
spell, make a DC 15 Intelligence saving throw. On a

failure. you take 6d6 psychic damage and are insane until you finish a
long rest. While insane, you can't take actions, can't understand What
other creatures say, can' read, and speak only in gibberish. A greater
restoration spell cast on you ends this effect.

On a successful save, you can ask the entity up to five questions. You
must ask your questions before the spell ends. The DM answers each
question with one word. such as ``yes,'' ``no,'' ``maybe,'' ``never,''
``irrelevant,'' or ``unclear'' (if the entity doesn't know the answer to
the question). If a one---word answer would be misleading, the DM might
instead offer a short phrase as an answer.
