Effect: By means of this spell the illusionist misdirects the information from a detection-type spell,
i.e. detect charm, detect evil, detect invisibility, detect lie, detect magic, and detect snares & pits.

While the detection spell functions, the information it reveals will indicate the wrong AREA,
creature, or the opposite of the truth with respect to detect evil or detect lie.
The illusionist directs the spell effect upon the creature or item which is the object of the detection spell.
If the caster of the detection-type spell fails his or her saving throw, the misdirection takes place.
 

Wu Jen: By means of this spell, the wu jen causes detection spells to misfunction.
The misdirection causes the detect to reveal the wrong area, creature, or object, or the opposite of the truth.
The spell is cast upon an object, creature, or area, but the spell-caster throwing the detect gets a saving throw vs. spell to determine if the misdirection takes place.
 

WSG: If this spell is cast upon a character with some
knowledge-based proficiency (animal lore, direction sense, etc.)
and the target fails a saving throw, the interpretation or assumption
made by the proficient character will be reversed, so that a
correct assessment becomes incorrect or vice versa. Of course,
the spell-caster will not usually know ahead of time whether the
character was making a correct assessment or not.
