Seeing
Spell, Low Magic, level 1
Reveals the alignment and a rough gauge of the power level of one being.
From the book
With a look, the caster takes the measure of one individual or creature up to 100 ft. away. He learns its alignment and gets a rough sense of how powerful it is, graded as low, average, great or very great in level of ability. There is no save, but any spell or device that shields against psychic abilities will foil the attempt.

A scene
The Tartessian envoy steps off his launch onto the black beach of Rapa Nui smiling, with gifts. The island's shaman, Hotu, watches from the tree line and lets her gaze rest on him for the space of a breath. What she sees is a small, grasping, cruel soul with no real power in it. Then she turns her eyes to the envoy's silent bodyguard, a tall man in gray, and her gaze slides off him as if he were oiled. Something is shielding his mind. Hotu tells the chief to accept the gifts and watch the quiet one.
