I got this idea while responding to a thread on the topic of
necromancy. I believe not only should this spell be used in combat such as
raising the dead etc., but it should also have non-combative attributes such as
speaking to the dead. How cool would it be if you are an investigating a murder
and you can actually speak with the victims and hear their accounts? In
addition given that there is a tear in the Vail it provides the perfect excuse
for why such a spell can be used. 



What I also like is that it provides an excuse to always
have a mage in your party. Instead of only having mages to heal, you might want
to carry a mage so in the event that you run into a group of dead bodies the
inquisitor can have a better idea of what happened. This sounds more realistic
than coming across notes in the dead bodies that magically explains everything
that happens.

I don't think there's a way to talk to the dead in Dragon Age. Just because something seems "cool" doesn't mean it needs shoved in.

The witch from the silent grove could do it

it's in the books, and given that you can animate dead bodies, it doesn't seem unrealistic to be able to pick through their memories.

i thought they kind of did that in DAO on one of the tests from the sacred ashes quest, although you only had to solve riddles

The murderer was the Empress. 

Where'd you hear that?

Some dead guy. 

And you believed him?

Yeah, the dead can't tell you anything that's not true.

I'd love the chance to grill a ghost esp if I'm an inquisitor.

You should read Dragon Age: The Silent Grove

What Yavana does to that man... If you were in his posistion, you wouldnt lie.

This was a spell in Planescape: Torment, and it was really cool to be able to talk to all the zombies in the mausoleum. Most of their responses were just for flavor, but the effect was incredible.

The spell in Silent Grove only worked because the it was done immedatly after death, when the spirt/soul still lingered in the body before going off to wherever the dead go.  So in other words, it only works when they're mostly dead.

I was always disappointed there wasn't special dialogue for the burnt corpse with Ignus in my party.
