Well, only divination (scrying) spells are specifically prevented from working. Other types of divination magic can still work, so it matters what spell it is specifically.
I could be that this in some other thread but i didnt found anything.
Since my campaign is at an critical point i need to know how to handle some 2 spells.First.
If one casts Mage's Private Sanctum and a cleric or wizard enters the
protected area with active detection spells do they work in the sanctum area?Second.
Greater Arcane Sight lets you detect a magic auras and b casterlevel and spellcaster abilities if one has ist.
So if a thief is hiding in shadow with magic items would he be detected by a wizard with greater arcane sight because the wiz seees the auras of his items?
Point two assuming one is overtaken by a ghost with malevolence and the
ghost has caster level.
Would the Wiz see that a group member has gained spellcasting abilities all of a sudden or not?Any advice welcome.
Corrected spell names and added links.
Within the sanctum:
Divination (scrying) will not work.
Detect thoughts will not work.
Other detects may, depending on their descriptors.
Arcane sight is not scrying, so works.
Seeing the unseen:
The hiding thief will show as an aura in a square, but will not reveal the thief. This was mentioned somewhere in the threads on stealth that you cannot use detect magic to target an invisible character.
Autodetecting:
No, because he would have to stop and study the member first. However, when he does study the member, if there is a gain or loss of spellcasting/SLAs, he will learn of it.
