[QUOTE="Mr Fidgit, post: 454905, member: 6968"] i might be unclear on this, so i'd recommend reading the first chapter of MoF the Weave - "Raw magic exists in Faerun, but it is a powerful and dangerous force that can easily destroy even a patient and skilled mortal. It is locked away inside all matter and difficult to access. Most spellcasters instead draw upon magic through the controlled and relatively safe magic accessed through the Weave." no one can 'detect' someone else using the Weave without a special ability to do so (like a specialized spell - they don't exist, but could, if developed in a game). casters can detect magic, but not the Weave itself ALL casters use get their magical energy from the Weave, if they realize it or not. in fact, divine casters are less likely to know the Weave even exists (since they pray for their magic - i.e. its granted by their gods) in a way, the Weave is like the Force (it surrounds us, binds us, it's in all living things...) with a few exceptions. 1) the Weave is present in ALL things, living, dead or undead. 2) the Weave only exists on Faerun (so Mystra could block the magic given to worshipers of any given diety on Faerun, but not anywhere else in the multi-verse). 3) the Weave can't be 'detected' like a jedi can sense the Force (or the use of it - unless some homebrew ability was created, like a feat to 'Sense Weave'). this is why dead- and wild-magic zones are so hard to find. magic-users can't detect them without some kind of direct contact (being in a zone, or trying to scry or teleport into a zone) hope that helps a little....
