Clerical Spell Specification

[6] Detect Lies

BTS: 30% (DxM) for Target Being on whom Cast, not those lying to him/her 

ULT: 15 hours

Materials: a Sanctified Symbol of God

Actions: hold Materials to ear

Effect of Throw: % chance any lie detected = (30+T)%

Range: d ft -5(4+d(d+1)/2)% If cast on self, there is no Range minus. If cast on others, Range is at least 0 ft, so there will be a Range minus of at least -20%.

Duration: 10t min -5t(t-1)%

Notes:

1. The Spell may be cast on one Target only.
2. Target must be able to hear and understand any lie spoken (not written).  If lie is detected, he/she will know it in his/her mind to be a lie.
3. If the lie is repeated, check %age chance again each time.
4. For a statement to be a lie, its speaker must believe it to be untrue on at least a balance of probabilities.  The Spell may be ineffective if the speaker simply does not know (e.g. is reading out loud what someone else has written) or does not distinguish between truth and fiction (but not if he/she simply professes such a belief).  If the speaker believes a statement to be untrue, but it is in fact true, it will still be a lie.
5. Target may not detect lies during Spell Casting or any activity requiring heavy concentration.
