[QUOTE="HoboGod, post: 5269061, member: 90920"] There is a very good reason to argue semantics, here. The balancing factor of this spell relies completely on whether it can automatically pinpoint invisible and hidden creatures. Some DMs would completely ban this spell or only allow it as a higher level spell because they didn't want it to argue and felt that it's ability was too strong for it's level. If it was important enough for Detect Evil to have explicit instructions and Detect Animals to have explicit instructions, it's important for this to have explicit instructions. Compare the usage and purpose of these spells. Detect Evil is a 1st level spell, it can find the exact location of an evil creature as long as he or she is visible and not behind an inch of lead or etc. Would you say it's appropriate that Detect Magic is a 0th level spell that can find the exact location of any creature of any alignment carrying a magic item or under the effect of some spell regardless of visibility?
