Description

This spell functions like Arcane Sight, except that you automatically know the direction, power, and number of different magical auras and the general direction of the most potent aura within your sight as a swift action.

More intense scrutiny reveals more information:

• 1 Full Round: The location of each aura within the target area. If the items or creatures bearing the auras are in line of sight, you can make Knowledge (Arcana) skill checks to determine more information about the spell or spell effect involved in each aura. (Make one check per aura: DC 10 + 4x spell level, or 10 + 2x caster level for a non-spell effect.) If the aura emanates from a magic item, you can attempt to identify its properties with a Bailiwick skill check (Divinity, Naturalism, Reason, Spellcraft, Spycraft, or Warfare).

Magical areas, multiple types of magic, or strong local magical emanations may distort or conceal weaker auras.

Special: If you wish, you may violently expend the magic of your Arcane Sight as a standard action. This may be included in the action of casting the spell if you are in a hurry. The energy of the spell lances from your eyes as a ravening blue beam of power. This is a ray attack, against a foe within range to which you have line of sight and line of effect. This ray inflicts (Circle 7 damage): 1d6+2 points of damage per character level (max 20d6+40 at character level 20) of stellar (energy, rare) damage.

This spell lays an arcane charge on its target(s). If the targets are something other than you or another creature (such as an object or area), the spell lays an arcane charge on you, the caster. Targets which already have an arcane charge present must choose which to keep if the new spell has the same charge type. Only one arcane charge can ever be present on a target at a time.
