Potestas: a D&D3E supplement

Spells

Analyse Magic

Divination
Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: Touch
Target: One touched creature or object
Duration: 1 round/Power point (D)
Saving Throw: Will negates; see text
Spell Resistance: Yes
Minimum Power Points: 1
XP Cost: 5/Power point

You discern all spells and magical properties present in a creature or object. Each round, you may touch a single creature or object as a free action. In the case of a magic item, you learn its functions, how to activate its functions (if appropriate), and how many charges are left (if it uses charges). In the case of an object or creature with active spells cast upon it, you learn each spell, its effect, and its Power points.
A creature or an attended object may attempt a Will save. If the save succeeds, you learn nothing about the object except what you can discern by looking at it. An target that makes its save cannot be affected by any other analyse magic spell for 24 hours.
Restriction: Choose one type of magic (arcane, divine, innate). This spell only identifies magic of that type.
Heightened: Each additional Power point increases the number of targets by one, but increases the XP cost by 5.
