Detect Magic
Ultima VI Incantation: Wis Ort Reagents: NS, SA Circle: 1st

Detect Magic is a spell that grants clairvoyance concerning nearby items’ magical properties.

Spell Description

The Detect Magic spell at first looks like an all-purpose detection spell, but in fact it is used to analyse objects and detect the enchantments that are put on them, telling the mage their nature. It is very useful to the mage to know how many charges are left in a magical staff after the spell Enchant had been used on it.

Lore
