Identifying a spell being cast by a wildshpaed druid? How to?

[Lochmonster]

...Or "Is that Albatross casting Entangle!?"

Natural Spell Feat says "You substitute various noises and gestures for the normal verbal and somatic components of a spell."

Ok, so how can another spellcaster make a spellcraft check to ID the spell that's being cast if all they see is a bird squaking and waving it's wings about?

Are there specific rules for this situation (which probably comes up a lot)? Is there an increase to the spell identification check? If so by how much?

Can the other spell caster just sort of "feel" the magic the druid is harnessing?

Just wondering how it could or should be handled.

Thanks!

I think thats up to the GM, the rules don'timpose any bonuses or penalties for IDing spells cast by wild shaped druids, so there shouldnt be any. How this all looks on the rolelaying side is not explained, so the GM should come up with something.

Since there are no specific rules saying so in the context of the feat, there are no specific modifiers called for.

Since the rules don't say differently, "It just works". DM's may rule differently. They may also rule that if you take on a shape without hands or paws, you can't do somatic components. Wild shape leaves a lot to DM interpretation.

I suppose you could say that Spellcraft allows you to see and recognize the magical energy of the spell.
