3rd-level divination

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Classes: Bard, Sorcerer, Wizard

You fix an image in your mind of the area surrounding you when you cast the spell, up to a 20-foot-radius sphere. As long as you maintain concentration, you keep this magical image in your head. At any time, you may examine that image in your mind’s eye as if you were examining the actual location.

You can perform Intelligence (Investigation) and Wisdom (Perception) checks on the area as though you were actually still there. This mental search requires as much time and focus as it would take to examine the area physically. While you review the mental image, you remain aware of your surroundings, and you can freely switch between investigating the image and acting in the physical world.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level, the radius of the memorized area increases to 35 feet, and the duration extends to up to 8 hours. When you use a spell slot of 5th level, the radius further increases to 50 feet, with a duration of up to 24 hours. Concentration is required for the entire duration.
