Note: Each round, the character can turn to detect things in a new area. The spell can penetrate barriers, but 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt blocks it. Outsiders and elementals are not magical in themselves, but if they are conjured, the conjuration spell registers. | Note: Each round, the character can turn to detect things in a new area.

The character can detect magical auras. The amount of information revealed depends on how long the character studies a particular area or subject: 1st Round: Presence or absence of magical auras. 2nd Round: Number of different magical auras and the strength of the strongest aura. 3rd Round: The strength and location of each aura. If the items or creatures bearing the auras are in line of sight, the character can make Spellcraft skill checks to determine the school of magic involved in each. (Make one check per aura; DC 15 + spell level, or 15 + half caster level for a nonspell effect.) Magical areas, multiple types of magic, or strong local magical emanations may confuse or conceal weaker auras.
Aura Strength: An aura’s magical power and strength depend on a spell’s functioning spell level or an item’s caster level.
Functioning Item Spell Caster Strength Level Level
Dim 0-level or Lingering lingering aura aura Faint 1st–3rd 1st–5th Moderate 4th–6th 6th–11th Strong 7th–9th 12th–20th Overwhelming Artifact or Beyond deity-level mortal magic caster
If an aura falls into more than one category, detect magic indicates the stronger of the two. Length Aura Lingers: How long the aura lingers depends on its original strength:
Aura Strength Duration
Faint 1d6 minutes Moderate 1d6 X 10 minutes Strong 1d6 hours Overwhelming 1d6 days
Note: Each round, the character can turn to detect things in a new area. The spell can penetrate barriers, but 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt blocks it. Outsiders and elementals are not magical in themselves, but if they are conjured, the conjuration spell registers.
