Skill Rules & Full Description
Spell Verbal: "I Pierce the Veil to ...See Magic"
Cost: 1 Power Point • Duration: Instant
- This spell will cause all magic within 5 feet to glow with a cerulean color; the 5 feet is measured from the point of impact of the spell packet. Magic items, scrolls, and characters with latent or active spells will all glow briefly. Only the caster can see this glow and the glow is the same regardless of the power level of the magic. The glow cannot be hidden by an intervening object; a magic ring cannot be protected from a See Magic by hiding it in a pouch.
- A defense against magic will stop the spell if cast directly at a character, but if the spell is targeted at an inanimate object or if a character is in the area of effect, they can only invoke an Obscure spell to stop the effect. If they are not the target of the spell, they will only know that the See Magic was cast in their area if they have an Obscure upon them, and then they will only know that the spell was cast, not who cast it
