Light of Aestir

Causes a multi-colored, gently shifting light to emit from the caster's focus. The light reveals a hazy image of any ethereal objects within Range, or objects hidden by arcane arcane means, but the basic spell shows only inanimate objects.

Distinguishing the different types of phenomena and entities detectable by this spell requires practice. The clarity of the revelation depends on the caster's success level. With MS, objects will appear very hazy and will flicker in and out of view. With CS, objects appear more clearly (details can be picked out) and remain in view for as long as the object is in range until duration is expended.

Bonus Effects

CML 70+: Light will reveal animate objects/entities including otherworldly ethereals.

CML 80+: Light will reveal the true form of visible, disguised creatures. Since Pvaric philosophy holds that flesh is a manifestation of Aura, it follows that Aura is the true essential form. Therefore, anyone's true form will appear as a somewhat abstract mass of hazy light.

CML 90+: Light will reveal the true forms of invisible, ethereal and/or disguised entities.
