Reveal magic

Reveal magic makes the hidden auras of magic visible, much like the spell detect magic. Unlike detect magic, this spell causes all magic in the effected area to glow for all to see, not just the caster.

Reveal magic is an uncommon spell in the Realms.

Effect
When cast over an area, this spell causes all magical radiations to glow with a bright light about equal to torch light. The caster can effect a radius of several feet around them, depending on their skill level with magic. Intensity and type of magic cannot be determined.

History
Dagsumn of Waterdeep created the most common version of this spell. Dagsumn sold the spell to the Watchful Order of Magists and Protectors for guild membership and a large amount of gold. Dagsumn would freely sell a copy of the spell to anyone for five hundred gold coins.

Realmslore
Reveal magic is known to the drow, though the drow version requires the material component of a pinch of yellow powder.

Reveal magic is known to the elves and requires a somatic component of a small, subtle hand gesture or a flick of the caster's fingers. A soft, blue glow will then show any magic at work.
