Effect: With this spell, the shukenja has a 5% chance per level of detecting any cursed item, person, or place.
One man-sized object or one square yard
of area can be checked each round. Once a cursed item has been
discovered, the shukenja has the same
percentage chance of determining the general nature of the curse,
although its precise triggers and effects
remain a mystery. In scanning a cursed scroll, the shukenja could learn
the curse causes misfortune to the reader,
but would not be able to tell that it lowered the saving throws and to
hit chances of the recipient by 1 until
removed. Each item or area can only be checked once by the same
shukenja, regardless of the number of
spells he may cast upon it.
The material components for this spell
are
MC: A gem of at least 2 ch'ien (which
must be given to the shukenja's deity as an offering) and a fresh spray
of cherry or plum blossoms.
