Elementalist Spell Specification

Class: Generalist

2. Detect Detect

The Spell is also available at L3 with the facility to Cast it on others, allowing them to Detect Detects.

BTS: n/a

ULT: 50 hours

Materials: none

Actions: hold hands over forehead and close eyes

Effect of Throw:

-2 to 7 Insanity

8 to 9 Randomly detect false readings

10 to 12 No Effect

³ 13 Chance of Success = (T of Detect Detect) / (T of Detect) * 100 % (see Note 3 below)

Radius:    5r ft -r(r-1)/2 (from Caster, or Target Being for L3 Spell - moves with him)

Range (L3 Spell only):    5d ft -(4+d(d+1)/2) If cast on self, there is no Range minus. If cast on another Being, Range is at least 0 ft, so there will be a Range minus of at least -4.

Duration:    t hr -t(t-1)/2

Notes:

  1. Detect Detect detects Detect Spells and effects (including effects of Magic Items and Powers) which are scanning within the Radius.
  2. No concentration is required to scan for Detects.  The Caster (or Target for L3 Spell) automatically knows if a Detect is Detected.  He may then use heavy concentration to follow where it is scanning.  He cannot tell what kind of Detect it is, or (except by other means of observation) who is scanning with it.
  3. Detect Detect functions as a Counterspell in that the T of Detect Detect against a Spell of a different SL is multiplied by (CSL/OSL)2, where CSL = Detect Detect's Level and OSL = Detect's Level. The SL of Detect Spells of other Disciplines is doubled for this purpose.  Clerical Detect Spells count as half their SL (FRX, as they are then doubled as above) for the purposes of comparison of their SL with that of Detect Detect as an Elementalist Spell.
