Body-Reading
Information; Resisted by Will
Creates in the mind of the caster a visual and tactile “image” of the interior of the subject’s body. Useful for diagnosing pain or illness of uncertain origins, this spell reveals organ ruptures and internal bleeding, bone fractures – even the sex of an unborn child. Use Regular range modifiers.
Essentially, this is the magical equivalent of a detailed series of X-rays; what the caster can do with the information gained depends on his medical skills.
The spell does not reveal the exact nature of any poisons or diseases that may be affecting the subject, but it gives a +2 to any subsequent Poisons or Diagnosis roll. The caster must touch the subject.
Modifiers: -2 if the subject is of a different species than the caster (an Elven wizard reading a human subject, for instance), -4 or worse if totally alien!
Cost: 2.
Time to cast: 30 seconds.
Prerequisite: Sense Life or Awaken.
Item
Headgear or jewelry. Works only on wearer.
