Talking Creatures

Animals, the dead and plants who'll talk if you cast the right spell. With Speak with Animals (a Ritual: ten minutes, no slot) a Beast talks; with Speak with Dead a corpse answers once; with Speak with Plants plants tell what passed them in the last day. The spell's option shows in the conversation when a hero knows it.
