Ward of Magic Detection
A Ward of Magic Detection is a standing magical sensor used to watch for magical auras, spellcasting, and similar magical intrusions. It is often installed near doors, offices, waiting rooms, or other controlled passages where suspicious magic would matter more than mundane movement.
The ward normally needs a daily 3rd-level spell recharge. When an Orb of Enhancement or similar enhancer orb operates nearby, the ward can draw on the condensed raw magical energy instead.
Ward of Magic Detection
This ward functions like a standing magical sensor keyed to nearby magic. When active, it acts like a detect magic spell, allowing a trained observer or linked alarm system to notice magical auras, active spellcasting, or similar magical intrusions within its coverage.
The ward must be recharged once per day by expending a 3rd-level spell slot into it. If an Orb of Enhancement or similar enhancer orb is operating in the vicinity, the ward does not need this daily charge; the orb condenses raw magical energy in the area and supplies the charge for it.
