Message: <blockquote data-quote="UltimaGabe" data-source="post: 1912849" data-attributes="member: 16019">(This is probably gonna be posted already by the time I finish, but eh.)DetectMagic can, theoretically, pinpoint invisible attackers. However, it takes three rounds to do so (the first round detects whether there are magical auras in the area, the second round detects how many auras there are in the area, and the third round pinpoints those auras). So an invisible foe would have to stay within the area (or, arguable, in the exact same spot) for three rounds, and even then, the caster would know their location, but would still have a 50% miss chance. The invisible foe could then just move out of the area, then back in, and be undetectable again for another three rounds.As for your second question, Spellcraft and Detect Magic can only reveal schools of magic- so you could tell that someone is under the effect of an Abjuration, but you'd have no idea what Abjuration it was. And really, who doesn't have an Abjuration on at any given moment?</blockquote>
