Clerical Spell Specification

10. Identify Person

BTS: 68% (At)

ULT: 5 hours

Materials: a pearl

Actions: present Materials to Target

Effect of Throw:

Chance of Success vs Magical Effects (per Effect) = (T of Identify Person) / (T of Target Spell) * 50 % (see Note 3 to calculate T)

Range: 10d ft    -5d(d-1)/2 %

Notes:

  1. Cast on a single living Person ("Target").
  2. The Effect of Throw gives the chance of identifying Magical Effects upon Target and of overcoming Misdetection Effects which would prevent ther identification of the Target and/or any such Magical Effects upon them.  Target does not get a st against the Effect of Throw.  Note that if the Effect of Throw succeeds against any such Effect, it does not Dispel it.
  3. The Throw of Elementalist and Druidic Spels is multiplied by 5 to give their equivalent Throw for Clerical purposes.  Effects and Potions that have resulted from a Spell Cast have the Throw of that Spell Cast.  Effects that have not resulted from a Spell Cast (e.g. the Effects of Magic Items) have T = 100.
  4. Provided that any such Misdetection Effects are overcome, Target must make a st against being Identified.  If Identified, Caster then knows who they are.  This will consist of their name (but not any True Name), origin and any titles, e.g. "Arril I of the House of Tarm, Emperor of Valdrea", irrespective of whether they are known to Caster's God (this being a Truthsaying Effect).
  5. If a Misdetection Effect is not so overcome, it will have its intended Effect, so Caster may know as the Effect of Identify Magic who the Misdetect is saying Target is (if Target fails the st, which is permitted by the Misdetect).
  6. Caster will also know any Magical Effects upon Target against which the Effect of Throw succeeded, but not their precise specification or whether the Effects are Clerical, Elementalist or of Potions, etc, e.g. "they are Protected vs. Law, have Body Armour, Regeneration and are Misdetected".  This includes any Magical Effects of Spells cast by third parties, if Effect of Throw succeeded against them, e.g. "they have been Stunned".
