Detection

You target one object that you can lick to discern if it is magical. If you sense magic in this way, you get a distinct flavor from it regarding its school of magic, if any, or what kind of magic it bears. It does not reveal the nature of the spell or item beyond that, and licking something that does damage to you such as alchemist's fire, a poison, a flaming sphere,  or the edge of a knife can still cause damage to you. The different tastes can be listed as the following examples below, or different variations of tastes depending on your personal associations with magical schools:

  • Necromancy - Bitter, like raw coffee grounds or licorice.
  • Enchantment - Very sugary and sweet, like angel food cake.
  • Illusion - Sour, like lemon juice or something with a vinegar flavor.
  • Evocation - Spicy, like a hot pepper or wasabi.
  • Abjuration - A soft and smooth flavor like a glass of warm milk or creamy tomato soup.
  • Alteration - An herbal taste, such as basil, rosemary, or thyme.
  • Conjuration -  Salty, like table salt or soy sauce.
  • Divination - A sharp flavor, such as strong cheddar cheese or mint.
  • Chronomancy - A flavor frozen in time, like artificial banana.
  • Dunomancy - Metallic, like licking steel or iron.
