The way I ran it, he instantly picked up the magical aura and knew it was an illusion (esp. due to Nameless' inanely high Arcana check). But that didn't mean he knew exactly what it was. For example, if he saw a rug on the floor and saw a strong illusory aura all over it, that didn't mean he knew whether it was an illusion of a rug over a pit, an ooze with an illusion aura on it, or anything else. Or if he saw a faint illusion aura on someone, he didn't know if it meant the person had a Disguise Self up or was benefiting from Displacement. In short, it was very handy but didn't make all magic and illusions irrelevant.Also, the spell Nondetection would help hide illusion auras. So if someone had an Invisibility spell up and also a Nondetection, the person with the Arcane Sight would need to make a caster level check to detect it.</blockquote>
