Effects
On success, there are several messages you can get. The messages can reveal a possible spell the target has, from a very limited list of possible spells (NES, Pragi, or Stacklady only known spells so far).
- "No power, no glint of lightning nor thaumaturgical might, whirls around <person>."
- "From the flows of magic, you guess that <person> is not very puissant."
- "From the flows of magic, you guess that <person> is slightly puissant."
- "From the flows of magic, you guess that <person> is fairly puissant and he could conjure up a really nice bunch of flowers."
- "From the flows of magic, you guess that <person> is moderately puissant."
- "From the flows of magic, you guess that <person> is extremely puissant."
- "From the flows of magic, you guess that <person> is amazingly puissant."
Target has NES:
- "From the flows of magic, you guess that <person> is amazingly puissant and he could turn you into a pile of greasy dust and a pair of smoking boots."
Target has Stacklady:
- "From the flows of magic, you guess that <person> is amazingly puissant and he could turn you into a frog with a snap of his fingers."
Target has Pragi:
- "From the flows of magic, you guess that <person> is amazingly puissant and he could turn you to cinders with a wave of his hand."
