[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 1487691, member: 478"] Yeah, the big problem with detect magic is, that you need to concentrate on the spell to gain information. And you need to concentrate for 3 consecutive rounds to gain accurate information. Sure, a still-standing invisible [i]whatever[/i] can easily be detected with the spell, but a moving one isn't that easy to catch. During the first round you'll only know "something is there", you'll not know that it is moving or anything. If it leaves the cone, then you'll only know that the aura has vanished. No reason given. Anyways, I'm pretty sure, that Detect Magic does not equal "seeing magical auras" but "sensing magical auras". You know they are there, but you cannot actually see them (well maybe after three rounds you can). That's at least how I understand it. If you look at the location you detected a magical aura at, you can see what the source of the aura is. A symbol is probably triggered at that point. A glyph AFAIK is only triggered, if you get close enough, but looking at it does not trigger it. Arcane Sight OTOH simply highlights magical auras in your field of vision. Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
