Detect Magic - Shalizar's Enchanted Magesight
Level 2 – Celestial, Earth
"I call forth mystic power to Detect Magic."

Casting this spell on an object or person will reveal to the caster and only the caster if any magic is present (but not what kind). Any visible items worn or carried by the target will be revealed, but items hidden under clothing or in bags or boxes will not be. This spell will cover up to a door sized area.

If the subject has any spell defenses currently actice (such as Endow or Magic Armor), then the subject will detect as magical to the caster. This does not overshadow any items on the person. In other words, the fact that a subject has a Greater Shield spell upon him or her does not cover the fact that a magic item is worn.
