For the duration, you sense the presence of magic within 30 feet of you. If you sense magic in this way, you can use your action to see a faint aura around any visible creature or object in the area that bears magic, and you learn its school of magic, if any.
You may also choose instead to cast this spell to detect the presence of souls within 30 feet of you instead of the presence of magic. If you sense a soul in this way, you can use your action to see a faint aura around any visible creature that has a soul.
The spell can penetrate most barriers, but it is blocked by 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt.
At Higher Levels. When using this spell to detect souls it’s range doubles when using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher. (I.E: 2nd Level it reaches 60 feet, 3rd level it reaches 120 feet.)
