Effect: When you cast this spell, you gain the ability to sense and discern different types of magic used in an area, as well as the mage who cast the spell. For the duration of the spell, you can detect any magical auras within a 60-foot radius of yourself. The spell creates a magical aura that highlights the various types of magic used in the area, and the aura also reveals the mage caster's identity, specialization and what is the source of their power.
To determine the type of magic used and the caster's specialization, make an Intelligence (Arcana) check. The DC depends on the strength and complexity of the spell.
If you fail the check, you cannot discern any useful information about the magical auras present in the area.
Note: This spell can be useful for identifying the source of magical disturbances or investigating magical crimes. It can also be used to gain an advantage in magical combat, as the caster can adapt their strategy based on their opponent's specialization. However, the accuracy of the spell depends on the caster's skill level and the strength of the magical auras present in the area. Stronger auras and more skilled casters will be easier to identify, while weaker auras and less skilled casters may be more difficult to discern.
