Description	The caster learns of any spiritual influences upon the target creature or object (see Creature vs. Object). If cast on a creature, this spell reveals: If they are under the effects of any spiritual spell or mind effect (whether magical or mundane), and identifies the specific effect(s). If they have an unusually weak or powerful spirit. If they are possessed by another spirit, or have two spirits of their own. If cast on an object, it reveals: Any spiritual effect tied to or emanating from it. If is occupied by a spirit (but not which spirit, or whether it is occupying the object willingly or bound into it). Two special conditions apply. Curses: This spell reveals if the creature or object is the subject of a curse, but not the specific details of the curse. Spiritual Marks: Spiritual marks (including demonic marks) are visible to this spell only when they are active (i.e. the mark is currently having an active mechanical effect). If a mark is active, the caster can see it (and can describe or draw it, if wished), and will recognise it if they see it again. At the attending referee’s discretion, this spell may reveal more information, including if the last person holding an object was experiencing a very strong emotion (and which emotion), whether a creature is dreaming, if they’re being haunted, or if they’re linked to a shrine or other place of power, or the focus of a community’s beliefs.
