Your eyes take a golden hue as your vision is able to detect all life around you as it were a tangible object.

You can detect living creatures in a cone emanating out from you in whatever direction you face. The amount of information revealed depends on how long you search a particular area.

  • 1st Round: Presence or absence of intelligent life in the area.
  • 2nd Round: Number of individuals in the area, and the condition of the healthiest specimen.
  • 3rd Round: The condition (see below) and location of each individual present. If a creature is outside your line of sight, then you discern its direction but not its exact location.

Conditions: For purposes of this spell, the categories of condition are as follows:

  • Normal: Has at least 90% of full normal hit points, free of disease.
  • Fair: 30% to 90% of full normal hit points remaining.
  • Poor: Less than 30% of full normal hit points remaining, afflicted with a disease, or suffering from a debilitating injury.
  • Weak: 0 or fewer hit points remaining, afflicted with a disease in the terminal stage, or crippled. If a creature falls into more than one category, the spell indicates the weaker of the two.

Each round you can turn to detect creatures in a new area. The power 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.
