Detect Ore

You perform a brief ritual that attunes your senses to naturally occurring deposits of ore. For the duration, you can pinpoint the location of natural, raw ore veins within 40 feet of you. The spell can detect veins containing common metals such as iron, copper, silver, and gold, as well as rarer or exotic ores, such as mithral or adamantine, if such ores naturally occur in the surrounding area.

The spell does not reveal the quantity, purity, value, or exact composition of a vein, nor can it detect worked or refined metal, metal objects, or metal that is not part of a natural ore deposit. The spell does not itself extract, excavate, or refine the ore. Whether a character can profit from using this spell to locate or extract ore is determined by the DM.
