Range	Touch
Duration	Instantaneous
Cost	1 magic point
Key Words	Lesser / Corporeal
Description	The caster learns whether the target creature’s corporeal pattern is impaired, and by what cause, including injury, disease, poison or body effect, either magical or mundane. The spell will also reveal the name and specific effects (including contagion or other mechanical traits) of the affliction(s), and whether they are likely to be fatal if left untreated. The caster knows if a poison or disease is magical, but discovering the specific requirements to cure it will depend on further investigation (e.g. via ritual divination, the Analysis rite or plot). At the attending referee’s discretion, this spell may reveal other information, including identifying surgical alterations, observing the effects of potions or the influence of strong magic, discerning the causes of scars or establishing the subject’s parentage.
