Zone of Truth
2-level Enchantment
Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 60 feet
Components: VS
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
You radiate a compulsion for honesty in an aura with a 15-foot radius. Until the spell ends, the aura moves with you, centered on you. The first time a creature ends its turn within the area, it must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failure, it cannot intentionally lie while in the aura. A creature can choose to fail its save, and you know if a creature succeeds or fails. An affected creature is aware of the spell and can answer evasively.
As an action, you can focus the spell to compel answers. You may ask up to two yes-or-no questions, each directed at an affected creature, who must answer truthfully. The spell then ends.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell 3rd level or higher, the aura's radius increases by 5 feet for each level above 2nd. Additionally, the number of compelled questions you can ask increases by 1 for each level above 2nd.
Available for: Bard, Cleric, Paladin
