DFRPG Equivalent to Speak with the Dead

Is there a DFRPG equivalent to the D&D spell Speak with the Dead?

I'm running a conversion of some old Greyhawk adventures, and noticed one of the plots assumed the party's Cleric would cast that spell.

Summon Spirit.

Unfortunately, you can't assume someone will be able to cast it unless they have Wild Magic (wizard) or Contingency Casting (cleric). Of course, if you're making characters for your players, it's easy enough to sneak that one spell on there.

You could also put it on a scroll that the PCs happen to find.
