[QUOTE="UltimaGabe, post: 1668230, member: 16019"] Every spell with longer than an instantaneous duration has a magical aura. However, it takes time to determine whether someone has a magical aura on them- check out the Detect Magic description for more details- but more importantly, people don't just walk around casting detect magic and then staring at random people for minutes at a time every day. Specifically, nobody does that to the Sultan. You'd need pretty darn good reason to walk up to the Sultan and cast a magic spell aimed directly at him without the guards gouging your eyes out. Even if a 1st-level mage somehow managed to get inside the King's room and cast Detect Magic on him, so what if he's got an enchantment on him? He's probably got a dozen other magic spells on him too, from all sorts of different schools- after all, in a magic-laden world, the king's gotta have some pretty hefty protection, with all these mages walking around and casting spells on people. Besides, just by casting Detect Magic, you can't tell exactly WHAT spell is affecting him, so for all you know it's something beneficial. However, if Jafar was as intelligent as he was, and he absolutely didn't want any of those pesky 1st-level mages finding out that there was an enchantment on the Sultan (depite all of the possibilities), he could very easily cast Nystul's Magic Aura on the King and nullify all or some magical auras on him- or change all of them to other things, or whatever. And that's only a 1st-level spell. There's plenty of ways around Detect Magic- it is, after all, a Cantrip. Edit: Darn you Altamont Ravenard! *Shakes fist* [/QUOTE]
