2nd-level divination allowing two switchable modes: Sense Thoughts detects thinking creatures within 30 feet (blocked by 1 foot stone/dirt/wood, 1 inch metal, or lead); Read Thoughts targets one visible creature to learn what looms large in its mind, then probe deeper as a Magic action to discern reasoning and emotions on a failed WIS save (DC is spell save DC). Target knows you are probing and can use an action to make an Arcana check to end the spell. Requires Concentration, lasts up to 1 minute.

For the duration, you sense the location of any Aberration, Celestial, Elemental, Fey, Fiend, or Undead within 30 feet of yourself. You also sense whether the Hallow spell is active there and, if so, where. The spell is blocked by 1 foot of stone, dirt, or wood; 1 inch of metal; or a thin sheet of lead.
