Effect: This spell
allows the druid to determine if
non-neutral forces and alignments
are at work in the area of effect
(upon or in the object or
creature being scanned).
An alignment
that is
partly neutral (such as
that of a neutral good cleric) will radiate a mild
aura, while an alignment
that has no neutral component (such as that
of a chaotic good fighter)
will give off a strong aura. The spell does not
determine exact alignment,
but only tells the druid if the object or
creature being examined
is something other than true neutral; a paladin
and a chaotic evil thief,
for instance, will radiate the same aura at
the same strength.
The spell will not function
upon non-living items that do not have a
natural aura (such as a
vial of poison), but will work upon an object
such as an aligned magical
sword. Creatures that are under the effect
of an unknowable alignment
spell or similar magic will not radiate any
aura when this spell is
used upon them. If the magic is used upon
something or someone that
exudes a true neutral alignment (such as
another druid), it will
produce a smooth, well-balanced aura identifiable
as one of neutrality.
