Notes:
- The Spell may be cast on one Target only.
- Spell reduces effectiveness of Detect Lies effects, e.g. Clerical Detect
Lies Spells.
- It also reduces the probability of someone spotting a statement is a
lie when it is spoken to them. For this purpose really blatant
lies may have a greater than 100% chance of detection (at DM's
discretion). It does not affect the probability of them realising
it is a lie if they take the time to consider it afterwards.
- Spell only works on lies that are spoken.
- For a statement to be a lie, its speaker must believe it to be untrue
on at least a balance of probabilities. If the speaker does not
distinguish between truth and fiction, the Spell may be ineffective on
him/her (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.
- White Lie (ORIL / OPSOR / TIPRE) must have a Good motive for
telling the Lies, or the God will refuse the Lie effect on them
(determined in relation to each individual Lie spoken).
