Determines whether the subject (person, object, or area) is under the effects of magic; enchanted items definitely count. The GM will secretly roll against the caster’s IQ minus range penalties (p. B550) to the subject, which the caster must be able to see or touch. If the sorcerer is familiar with the spells in ques- tion, this will reveal them. Otherwise, the GM will use the margin of success to determine how much information to give the sorcerer.
