Source Impossible Magic pg. 163
Traditions arcane, divine, occult, primal
Duration 1 hour
You can ask questions of, receive answers from, and use the Diplomacy skill with spells and magic items of the same tradition used to Cast this Spell, or that have the magical trait and no tradition trait. When you do, your voice drops into a strange, ethereal register, and you speak a language that resembles a more fundamental version of Draconic. Speak with magic doesn’t make them more friendly than normal. Though magic isn’t intelligent, you speak with the essence of the spell or magic item, which has a personality colored by the type of effect and its purpose as well as by the caster of the spell or creator of the item. A spell or magic item’s perspective, perception, and knowledge give it a worldview different enough from a human’s that it doesn’t consider the same details important. They can mostly answer questions about their creator or caster, creatures that possessed or interacted with them in the past, and what the purpose of their magic is.
Heightened (4th) You can ask questions of, receive answers from, and use the Diplomacy skill with spells and magic items of any tradition.
Heightened (6th) As 4th rank, and the duration is 8 hours.
