IMHO detect thoughts should be castable on npcs without initiating dialogue. I.e.: you talk to a guy, think "hmmm, that's suspicious", then after the dialogue be able to cast the spell and have a chance at a piece of internal monologue. Would be a pretty neat thing to have for plot exposition (thinking of you tyr paladins...). No need for extra animations, just some voice-over with a filter applied.

Something like detect evil/detect alignment would also probably help make the spell less of a niche thing (as would making it a free recast like speak to the dead, though that feels a bit gimmicky).
