The room or area can be no larger than your level in squares on a side.[U :11/2009] The room knows what has happened inside it for its entire existence, but it is incapable of making any judgments or analysis.

Arcana Check Result Questions Allowed
9 or lower None
10–19 1 question
20–29 2 questions
30–39 3 questions
40 or higher 4 questions

The November 2009 update increased Whispers of the Edifice's area to be more useful. Previously, the maximum area was four times the ritual performer's level in square feet, approximately one square for every six levels.
