Requires: Forensics III

This spell augments the scientific analysis of a corpse. By undertaking a postmortem dissection of a cadaver, the necropolitan may better determine the cause of death. Additional insights into the cause of death are gained, such as a "feeling" that the liver doesn't seem quite right if the corpse has indeed died from complications arising from cirrhosis. Sometimes this spell is the only way that any form of investigation can take place, especially if the body is diseased, cursed, radioactive, or the family does not want it cut up because of religious reasons. In these cases, the results will be minimal—magically augmented guesses at best—but still better than the alternatives.
