When in battle, the most useful advantage one can possess is knowledge about
one's enemy. Knowing how hard of a challenge you face should affect your
strategy, your expended effort, and how much backup you choose to bring. This
spell taps into the collective memories of thousands of warriors for any clues
as to how a monster, or something like this monster, might act in a fight.
Knowledge of identification and a high intelligence are required for good
results.
Since this spell relies on previous battles with monsters, not
all of the information necessarily applies to the target.
