Detect Element

Using your adoration of your element, you reach out with your magic and your mind to sense its presence.

You can detect a particular type of element (air, earth, fire, magma, rain, silt, sun, or water). You must think of a type of element when using the spell, but you can change the element each round. The amount of information revealed depends on how long you search a particular area or focus on a specific type of element.


 * 1st Round Presence or absence of that type of element in the area.


 * 2nd Round Amount of element and the location of each. If an element is outside your line of sight, then you discern its direction but not its exact location.


 * 3rd Round The strength and location of each aura. If the object is in line of sight, you can make a Spellcraft skill check to determine more information about a single item.

Each round, you can turn to detect an element 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.

Detect element can be made permanent with a permanency spell.
