The 13th level ability Empty Body allows the druid to go ethereal as if using Ethereal Jaunt. What type of action would it be to stop being ethereal before the duration ends?

If I let the duration run out, when would the ethereal end? At the start or end of my turn?

Separately, does the 1st level ability, Spirit Sense, distinguish between the types of creatures it detects?

Thanks

It's a standard action. Ethereal jaunt has a (D) at the end of the duration which means it's dismissable as a standard action.

It's not specifically said in the rules but durations run out at the beginning of the turn.

For example I cast a spell with a 2 round duration, it's available until the next turn, then the next turn, then it's gone at the beginning of the caster's next turn.

Spirit sense - I don't know the answer to that one. It doesn't seems like it does distinguish based on the wording of the ability of the spell or ability but I don't know.
