The gnomes of Zilargo use knowledge of any sort as leverage to ensure that their negotiations and social interactions lead to a preferred outcome. Gnome spellcasters developed the insidious insight spell for just this purpose, turning the inner feelings and desires of opposing creatures against them.

While this spell is in effect, you gain great insight into the target creature’s secret motivations and desires, granting you a +10 insight bonus on Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate, and Sense Motive checks made against it.

Special: Gnome spellcasters cast this spell at +1 caster level.
