Detect Magic

[Ebok]

I was thinking about cool divination spells and came upon this. A very common cantrip, with very little chance of ever being added into EFU:R. I still think it could be neat. It would be significantly more useful on efu than in cannon, so the spell level should certainly be level one or higher. It should most definitely be considered a hostile action, although probably shouldn't break invisibility.

For those looking to have a focused diviner, sorcerer or wizard, it would perhaps give them something that is nothing more than a utility, really, but would allow them something of a useful hostile divination.


[INDENT]Detect Magic (new spell)
–––––
Divination, spell level 1
Single Target: Will save partial
Effect: You get a yellow list displayed in your combat log similar to Dispel Magic which lists the current active spells on the target. If they passed the will save, then there is a 50% chance any single spell will be excluded from the list. If no spells are revealed, it will return a comment saying as much. [/INDENT]



If this idea has traction within the DM team, you could also always use the spell focus feats to add levels of power as well as a degree of uncertainity. Such as:

Normal
Pass: 25% hidden; Fail 75% hidden
Spell focus Divination
Pass: 5% hidden; Fail 50% hidden
Greater Spell Focus
Pass: 5% hidden; Fail 25% hidden
