Special Material: another creatures fresh or preserved brain

Effect

• You consume the brain of another creature’s corpse, gaining its memories and knowledge. The corpse must have a brain and can’t be undead. The spell fails if the corpse has been dead (and not preserved) for more than three days.
  Until the spell ends, you can attempt to recall any important fact known to the creature—family history, recent events, building layouts, passwords, details of the creature’s death, and similar information. To recall a piece of information, you must make an ability check using your spellcasting modifier. The DC is equal to the corpse’s Intelligence score.
  Once the caster rolls to determine whether they recall a fact, they cannot attempt to recall it again.

At Higher Levels

• Cannot be Up-Cast

Less of a spell and more of a monstrous act. The Arcane is mealy used to mimic the natural abilities of the Ilithid to learn the memories of the mind but the physical act of consumption is raw and true.
