Otherwise, he believes the aura and no amount of testing reveals what the true magic is.If the targeted item’s own aura is exceptionally powerful (if it is an artifact, for instance), nonfunctional aura doesn’t work.Note: A magic weapon, shield, or suit of armor must be a masterwork item, so a sword of average make, for example, looks suspicious if it has a magical aura.Focus: A moth's wing</blockquote>
