For the duration, you sense the presence of magic within 30 feet of you. If you sense magic, you can use your action to see a faint aura around any visible creature or object that bears magic, and you learn its school. The spell can penetrate most barriers but is blocked by 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt. In a world saturated with Void-tainted Mana, *Detect Magic* reveals a background hum almost everywhere. Skilled casters learn to filter this ambient noise and focus on the significant signatures.
