Fumes of Spirit Detection
Alchemy, Magical mixture
Makes spirit, astral or invisible presences in the smoke visible for a while.
Also called Magical Fumes
From the book
A fume of artemesia, flax and hemp, 7 drs. of each, burned in a brazier or other fire. Any spirit, astral or invisible presence within 20 ft. of the smoke becomes visible at once and stays that way for at least 10 minutes.
Magical mixtures are prepared with a mortar and pestle, a small cauldron or crucible and a dependable heat source such as a lamp or furnace. Each takes a day to make, with a 90% chance of success plus 1% per level of ability (99% at most), and every one of them gives off a faint magical aura. Most sell for 100-200 G.P., the price depending on the quality of the ingredients.
