Effect The caster attunes their vision to the flickering life force of living creatures. For the duration, the caster may examine living targets within range and immediately perceive:
  • Which targets are the most severely wounded.
  • Which targets appear physically frail or exceptionally resilient.
  • Whether a target is suffering from disease, poison, or other life-threatening conditions.
  • Which visible target appears to have the lowest Resistance against the caster’s Slay spells.

The information is intuitive rather than numerical. The caster gains a general impression of a target’s condition, such as healthy, wounded, near death, frail, or iron-willed. This spell only affects living creatures and reveals nothing about undead, constructs, or inanimate objects.
