Detect Enchant

Created by Bobbyx

This divination spell allows you to perceive and understand the magical auras that suffuse creatures and objects alike. When cast upon a target, you gain insight into the nature and strength of any enchantments or magical effects currently active, whether they enhance, curse, or otherwise alter the subject. The spell reveals the school of magic involved in each enchantment, though it does not necessarily expose the specific mechanics or command words required to activate magical items. You can discern whether an object is magical, cursed, or inert with remarkable clarity, making it invaluable for identifying artifacts and assessing potential threats. The detection extends to temporary magical effects such as blessings and hexes, allowing you to gauge their potency and remaining duration. This spell proves particularly useful when navigating treasure hoards, evaluating suspicious artifacts, or determining whether a creature has been magically altered or controlled. The information gleaned is purely analytical in nature—you learn what enchantments exist, but not necessarily their full extent or hidden properties.
