Level 6 Component Cost 140gp
Catagory Necromancy Market Price 360gp
Time 10mins Key Skill: Arcana
Duration 1hr
During the duration of this spell, people with secrets, burdens, and
lies are plainly visible to the caster. This spell does not determine
or show the content of these secrets, burdens or lies but anyone who
has secrets, burdens, and lies appear to be encircled in dark rain at
a strength porportional to the significance of their actions.
Burdens for this effect are considered actions that a person would do
that would weigh heavily on their conscience. Most average people will
NOT have a burden, but a knight commander of the king’s garrison or an
executioner may for example.
Burdens are by no means a evil alignment or aura, merely that the person in question has done something they consider wrong or would not normally do, and are hidding it.
