When this spell is cast upon a willing creature, it immediately gains some of the knowledge once held by one of its (now deceased) ancestors.

Once the spell is completed, the recipient immediately gains ranks in any knowledge, craft, or profession skills that the ancestor had when he or she died. The total number of ranks that can be gained from this spell is one per every three levels of the caster. The effects are permanent and can only be removed by a properly worded wish or miracle.

This spell can only affect a given creature once in a year's time. Knowledge can only be gained from any given individual ancestor once.

Material Component: An item once owned by the ancestor who's memories will be gained.
