Spellcraft, Detect Magic, and Illusions

[Jack Mann]

Even outside combat, detect-magicing everything is likely to get you lynched by the rest of your group after the hundredth time or so.

"Is the door magical?"
"No."
"Is the wall magical?"
"No."
"Is the window magical?"
"No."
"I go inside. Is the floor magical?"
"No."
"Are the stairs magical?"
"No."
"Is the furniture magical?"
"No."
"Is anything under the bed magical?"
"No!"
"Are any of the items in the room magical?"
"No!"
"I go upstairs. Is the next door magical?"
"Yes. It's got a wish effect on it."
"Really?"
"No."

It's a good thing detect magic doesn't work like that.
