The caster is able to sense the presence of magical items or active spell effects within the area of effect. This awareness is a "sensation", the magic triggering the sensation does not reveal itself is any way. By turning slowly in place, the caster can get a general sense of direction from which the sensation emanates, but no indication of strength or exact source is revealed.

If multiple magical items o ractive spell effects are within the area of effect, the caster may detect more than one emanation, but only if the sources are well separated. Multiple magic items or active spell effects closely grouped together (like several items in a chest), or overlapping spell areas of effect will only generate one sensation.

Illusion spell effects are only detectable if the caster is of higher level than the level of the illusion's creator at the time the illusion was created.
