Detect Chaos

Duration: Instantaneous
Range: Line of Sight

This spell allows the caster to know if anything within their field of vision (or on their person) is Chaotic. For the purposes of this spell, Chaotic is defined as, but not limited to:

  • Undead creatures

  • Any extra-dimensional or extra-planar creatures

  • Any creature with innate magical abilities

  • Artifacts, symbols, or sacred places dedicated to evil gods

  • Supernatural creatures incapable of being good

Mortal creatures, physical objects not directly connected to evil deities, traps, poison, or places where great atrocities have taken place are not considered Chaotic or evil for the purposes of this spell. It detects supernatural disturbances, not ill intent or foul deeds.

Curiously, this spell does not detect magical items or effects.

The reverse of this spell, Detect Order, detects Order instead of Chaos.
