Effect: This spell allows the wu
jen to read the aura of an area, determining the basic alignment
and
magical tendencies of most of the inhabitants
and items in the area.
When cast, an aura appears over every dwelling
or structure within the area of effect indicating whether most or the principal
occupant is good, evil, lawful,
neutral, or chaotic.
In addition, areas with a high concentration
of magic are also revealed.
Standing on a hill overlooking a village,
the wu jen casts this spell.
Each of the houses in the village begins
to glow, indicating the primary nature of the inhabitants.
Thus, the wu jen is able to note the homes
of good people, evildoers, and lawful types.
Temples and shrines have a magical glow
because they are more predisposed to magic than other areas.
Likewise, haunted and cursed areas have
an appropriate aura.
The aura even appears over dwellings the
caster cannot directly see--a faint glow over the treetops might indicate
a but or cave deep in the woods.
<It is implied that Vision
& Visibility applies.>
The reverse of this spell, mask, hides the aura of any one dwelling from detection by the aura spell.

of enlightenment, aura alteration>
