You cast detect magic in a treasure room. Your companion is wearing magical armor that glows when you focus. Is there any other magical items in the room you should search for? You can detect magic through three feet of wood, so you are detecting magic in every wooden chest in the room, but you have no idea if you are actually detecting magic from them, because you companions armor is pinging. Also any items you are wearing. Any magical effects on you or your companions. It makes the spell much harder to use, because the answer eventually becomes "Yes, you detect magic. Now, if you all strip out of your magical armor and move it into a pile 30ft away from you, you can then try and figure out if there is any new magic in the area"</blockquote>
