nute said:Simple question - can Detect Magic perceive the existence of an anti-magic field?
~M.
An antimagic field suppresses any spell or magical effect used within, brought into, or cast into the area, but does not dispel it. Time spent within an antimagic field counts against the suppressed spell's duration.
So your detect magic would stop working when inside an antimagic field. Therefor you would detect the antimagic field by stepping in and out of it.

Affix said now-flaming beads at various points on a very long string.
Swirl said string around in an arc; wherever the continual flames wink out, is an antimagic field (or in the FR, a Dead Magic Zone).
