[2] Detect Magic

BTS: n/a

ULT: 5 hours

Materials: none

Actions: wave hands over and focus eyes upon area to be scanned

Effect of Throw:

Chance of Success = T%

Range: 10d ft    -5d(d-1)/2 %

Radius: 5r ft    -5r(r-1)/2 %

Duration: 30 t sec    -5t(t-1)/2 %

Notes:

  1. Detect Magic detects Magic Items and Magic Using effects (including effects of Spells, unused Potions, effects of Potions, effects of Magic Items, the properties of Magic Items, but not Powers and their effects) within the Radius.
  2. Heavy concentration is required to scan for Magic. It takes 6 sec to scan each Target Being, Target Object or Target volume of up to 1ft radius within the Radius.  Ratio Chance of Success if less time is taken, e.g. if Target enters Radius during scan.
  3. Success gives the Caster knowledge that there is Magic Detected upon the Target.  It does not distinguish whether there are multiple Magic Items and Magic Using effects upon or within the Target (and only one Chance of Success roll is made in such cases).  To separate out such cases (e.g. to find one magic coin in a pile of gold), it is necessary to divide the Target and make further scans.
  4. Multiple attempts may be made to Detect Magic on the same Target within the Radius, whilst the Duration lasts.
  5. The Caster can move the Radius about using light concentration, provided that its centre does not exceed the Range (which is calculated from the Caster's current location from time to time).
