You make lightning-fast deductions based on only the slightest clue, pattern, or scrap of memory resident in your mind. You can make reasonable statements about a person, place, or object, seemingly from very little knowledge. However, your knowledge is in fact the result of a rigorously logical process that you force your mind to undertake, digging up and correlating every possible piece of knowledge bearing on the topic. The nature of the knowledge you gain concerning the subject of your analysis might include the answer to a riddle, the way out of a maze, legends about a place or an object, or the solution to what had been an insoluble dilemma, among other possibilities.

If an ability check is required to discern the information, you may make up to three Intelligence checks with any skill. You add double your proficiency bonus to the check and roll with advantage.
