[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 7213129, member: 58172"] Because Detect Magic is a 10-minute ritual, it goes into the Setup category. A ‘ritual’ tends to mean, it is a noncombat nondisruptive utility spell. Because rituals tend to be inoffensive, they tend to be poor choices to prepare or know. But Detect Magic is one of the exceptions. As a ritual, it is an Excellent must-have. But even preparing it to cast it as an action, is a Not Bad decision. The Detect Magic is a radar that detects any kind of magic. While not always accurate, the presence of magic is an indicator that there is a powerful hostile nearby that is using magic. Or. There is magic treasure nearby. If you sense magic, you can spend a future action to pinpoint the source of the magic. It lasts for 10 minutes, to cover exploration and maybe several encounters. This is a useful spell to cast spontaneously, on the fly. Detect Magic is useful both as a Setup and as an action. For now, the 1st-level spells list Detect Magic twice: Excellent to set up, and Not Bad to prepare. [/QUOTE]
