NPCs or PCs with weaknesses have weaknesses in order to enable stories not in order to enable a single shot kill in the first encounter by a party who knows their weakness and can make a tough fight easy.What I would do is this:These changes make the spell into a story element rather than a combat action. Material needs to be gathered and items connected with any individual hold power over that individual.As to the spell's level, I figure that it gives the caster more specific and accurate information than Divination with less risk but also with much less versatility. Which puts it about on a par. It's certainly less powerful than Legend Lore, Contact Other Plane or Vision. And since its casting time now resembles those, it's reasonable to be several levels lower.</blockquote>
