Power: significant
Cost: 1 significant charge
Effect: This will give the caster the answer to a question that a dead person knows. The answer itself is played on the movie screen as if it was filmed involving the deceased person. If questions such as their PIN number were asked it will show the person at an ATM and then the camera will zoom in so the viewer can see the number being punched in. However only questions that the deceased knows will be answered.
Ritual Action:First off you must have the ashes of the deceased person. Also access to a fully operation movie theatre that serves popcorn and uses the old sytle film reel projectors.
A common teaspoon purchased from a regular retail store must be used to put exactly one teaspoon of the ashes into the popcorn mix before it begins popping but while it is hot. While doing so you must close your eyes and ask the question you want the answer to quitely three times. The spoon must then be placed inside the container holding the ashes and put aside. The popcorn must then be allowed to pop and then served to the patrons of only one movie, the one playing in the room you will be getting answer in.
A little over five and a half hours later you must into that screening room and walk to the centermost seat. On your person must be the container holding the remainder of the ashes, a used ticket stub for that movie that was previously playing while the popcorn was consumed and a change in your pocked equal to as if you paid for your ticket with a twenty dollar bill. Once you are at the seat look directly at the screen and ask the question outloud three times. Then turn around twice and sit down. The projector will then click on and play the answer to the question as described in the Effect.
