Expanded Consciousness
Spell, Mysticism, level 7
A heightened awareness that detects magic, every kind of presence, hidden things, scrying on the caster, and the moods of those nearby.
From the book
The caster rises to such a height of awareness that, within 100 ft., he can sense magical emanations, presences of every kind (invisible, astral, physical and so on), hidden objects and secret doors. He also knows whether anyone is watching or scrying on him by any means, and can read the emotional state of the individuals or creatures in range. It lasts 1 minute per level, allowing one such determination each minute.

A scene
The mystic Ming Zhao is waiting in an antechamber of the Great Palace of Light in Tang, and she has decided to be careful. She lets her awareness spread outward through the painted walls. She feels the guards outside, bored and hungry. She feels a secret door behind the tapestry, and an iron box hidden under the floor. She feels the faint glow of an enchanted vase. And then, at the edge of it all, she feels something else: someone, somewhere, is watching her. She smiles at the wall and waves.
