Yeah, Detect Magic is one of those spells/cantrips that should give # of auras as a verbal spell. Add somantic and get levels of auras. Add material compenents for school.
I took medicine as a trained skill, but I either couldn't carry or couldn't afford a healer's kit. (I can't remember which, though it might have been both). I didn't realise that the skill would be near useless without it.
DM: 'well guys, congrats on your 1st level adventure completion! After defeating the big boss, you search his chamber and find a stash of items. mostly useless tin and junk, but to your surprise, a complete Healer's Kit sits among the trash...'
