Notes:

  1. Detect Life detects whether identified Target Beings or Objects within the Radius are Living.  The Undead are not Living.
  2. Heavy concentration is required to scan for Life. It takes 6 sec to scan each Target Being or Object within the Radius.  Ratio Chance of Success if less time is taken, e.g. if Target enters Radius during scan.
  3. The Spell cannot be used to scan for Living Beings that Caster cannot perceive or locate, but can be used on ones that only he can perceive or locate.
  4. The Target does not get a st.  Hide Life Spells or Effects may be used to protect against one's Life being Detected.
  5. Success gives the Caster knowledge that Target is Living and enables him to Cast subsequent Spells that target or affect living Beings that will affect Target, even if Target would have been protected against them by Hide Life Spells or effects which the Detect Life has succeeded against.  This is so, even if Target moves outside Radius or Duration of Detect Life expires (but not if Target becomes protected by a subsequent Hide Life Spell or Effect).
  6. Detect Life does not distinguish whether there are multiple Beings within, upon or possessing the Target (and only one Chance of Success roll is made in such cases), unless Caster is able to perceive them separately.
  7. Multiple attempts may be made to Detect Life on the same Target within the Radius, whilst the Duration lasts.
  8. 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).
