Know Alignment/ Undetectable Alignment
(Divination)
Reversible
Sphere: Divination
Range: 10 yds. Components: V, S
Duration: 1 turn Casting time: 1 rd.
Area of Effect: 1 creature or object Saving Throw: Neg.
A know alignment spell enables the priest to exactly read the aura of a creature or an aligned object (unaligned objects reveal nothing). The caster must remain stationary and concentrate on the subject for a full round. If the creature rolls a successful saving throw vs. spell, the caster learns nothing about that particular creature from the casting. Certain magical devices negate the power of the know alignment spell.
The reverse, undetectable alignment, conceals the alignment of an object or creature for 24 hours. |

This spell confers the ability to read a language chosen by the caster and generally understand the meaning of a text. It does not translate magical scripts used to record wizard spellbooks and wizard spell scrolls, nor does it decipher code. It does not allow the caster to write the language itself. It does not necessarily allow complete understanding of magical or highly specialized technical works, although the subject matter and gist of the material might be gleaned. |

This spell allows the caster to sense the basic needs, drives, and/or emotions of any unshielded mind (hunger, thirst, fear, fatigue, pain, uncertainty, rage, hatred, curiosity, hostility, friendliness, love, and so on). The spell gives no result for creatures protected against such detection, psionic creatures, or emotionless creatures (such as slimes, oozes, jellies, golems, skeletons, zombies, etc.).
The material component is a prayer written on a strip of cloth tied about the caster's forehead. |
