Enlightenment
Spell, Divine Magic, level 6
The deity reveals information on one subject: an object's powers and history, an unknown plant or creature, or a building's makers, purpose and legends.
From the book
The caster's deity supplies specific knowledge about one chosen subject. For an object or device, the caster learns all its powers and uses and something of its history: its former owners if any, who made it and where. This history is always accurate but not always precise, and minor items may reveal little of use.
For an unknown kind of plant or animal, the caster learns general facts such as what a plant can be used for, or how strong a creature is and what abilities and traits it has. For a building, structure, statue or the like, the caster learns in general terms who made it, what it was for and where it came from, along with any legends or powers attached to it.

A scene
No one alive knows who built the Pyramid of the Atlantydes, or why, and the savant Hypatia has spent six years trying to find out. At last she kneels at its foot, lays her palm on the ancient stone, and asks her god. Knowledge pours into her like water into a cup: the name of the builder king, the purpose of the chambers, the legend of the sleeping guardian beneath, all true, though blurred at the edges like an old fresco. She sits back, trembling, and reaches for her notebook.
