Arcane Sight

As you speak the words of power, your eyes flare with a steady blue glow. For a brief time afterward, the world is overlaid with shifting halos of color and light, revealing the hidden flows of magic around you.  

For 10 minutes after you cast this spell, you gain the following benefits in a 60-foot radius centered on yourself. This spell does not require Concentration.

• Continuous Detection. You automatically sense the presence and exact location of each magical effect, magical object, and creature with the Spellcasting, Pact Magic, or Innate Spellcasting feature in the area, without needing to take the Magic action.
• Aura Sight. You see a faint aura around any such visible creature or object in the area. When you see an aura this way, you automatically learn:
  • whether the magic is from a spell, a magic item, or another magical effect;
  • the school of magic of the effect, if any;
  • the spell’s level, if it is created by a spell slot; and
  • for a magic item, whether it is common, uncommon, rare, very rare, or legendary.
• Reading Casters. As a bonus action, you can focus on one creature you can see within range. You learn whether it has Spellcasting, Pact Magic, or Innate Spellcasting, and you learn the highest spell level slot that creature currently has available with each of those features.
• Invisible but Hidden. If a magical effect, invisible creature, or invisible object is within range, you can see its aura even if the creature or object is otherwise invisible. You still can’t see any nonmagical details of an invisible creature or object. This spell does not remove the Invisible condition or the Unseen Attacker rules: attack rolls against such a creature are still made with disadvantage, and its attack rolls still benefit from being unseen, even if you can perceive its aura.
• Arcane Analysis. For the duration, you have advantage on Intelligence (Arcana) checks made to:
  • identify a spell as it is being cast;
  • recall information about a magical effect you can see; and
  • glean an item’s magical properties by study, though the DM may still require the identify spell or experimentation to learn every property.

This spell doesn’t reveal password-protected command words or other nonmagical information, and it doesn’t by itself reveal the exact wording of spells prepared or known by a creature. 

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the radius of your arcane sight increases by 30 feet, and the duration of the spell’s benefits increases by 10 minutes, for each slot level above 3rd.
