The spell Presence gives the caster a chance to detect hidden and invisible creatures in the same room as the caster. In addition, it greatly increases the caster's perception for a short duration.

This spell is helpful for any task that utilizes the Perception skill, such as searching or detecting traps.

When a hidden or invisible character or creature is found using this spell, they are not revealed from hiding nor is their invisibility dispelled. Additionally, the caster cannot simply point to the hidden character to reveal their location. The caster must search in order to reveal a hidden character; this spell does increase the caster's ability to search.

Messaging

Initial cast:

You become aware of everyone near you...
You do not detect any hidden or invisible people.
You continue to feel much more aware of your surroundings.

Wearing off:

Your senses are no longer as sharp.
