  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: Self
  • Components: V, S
  • Duration: Up to 10 minutes

For the duration, you sense the presence of any undead creature within 30 feet of you. If you sense undead in this way, you can use your action to see a faint aura around the creature, even if incorporeal or in darkness (normal or magical). In addition, you are able to sense if the undead is controlled by a master, and if so, if its master is within 1 mile of your location and know their general direction.

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.
