It was called (and someone will correct my spelling) Hornung's Guess. This 1st level spell could tell you the order of magnitude of the number of things you could see. So the field commander looks to the wizard and says "How many enemy troops are filing through the trees?" and the wizard casts this spell and responds "Well, between 1000 and 9999 troops and that doesn't include any of the troops I can't see because the trees are in the way."Utterly braindead and useless. I'll bet the commnader can make a better guess. The only possible upside to the spell was that it was a wild spell so the wizard might cause a wild surge casting it. The Hornung's Guess elemental would be a useful result....</blockquote>
