Description

You sense the presence of a specific kind of evil—that of devils, their servants, and Hell. The amount of information revealed depends on how long you study a particular area or subject.

1st Round: Presence or absence of creatures with the devilsubtype, creatures possessed by devils, creatures under the effects of spells or spell-like abilities cast by devils, or creatures otherwise tainted by devils. Creatures tainted by devils include tieflings with diabolic heritages, sorcerers with infernalbloodlines, creatures who signed a contract with a devil, or members of a diabolist mystery cult, and those under significant diabolic influence as determined by the GM. This spell does not detect creatures of lawful evil alignment who are not devils or significantly influenced by devils.

Additionally, this spell detects whether or not a portal or similar magical passage leads to Hell.

2nd Round: Number of evil auras shed by creatures with the devilsubtype in the area, as well as the power of the most potent evil aura present. If you are of good alignment, and the strongest evil aura’s strength is overwhelming; if the creature has HD equal to at least twice your character level, you are stunned for 1 round and the spell ends.

3rd Round: The power and location of each aura, and what archdevil, if any, a devil is most closely affiliated with. If an aura is outside your line of sight, you discern the direction but not its exact location. Affiliation to an archdevil is only revealed when the creature detected is a devil (not merely a creature tainted by a devil). Devils receive a Will saving throw to resist revealing what archdevil they are affiliated with. If the devil succeeds at this saving throw or is not forsworn to an archdevil, you know only that this aspect of the spell returned no information.

Aside from what is detailed above, this spell otherwise functions similarly to detect evil in terms of aura power, lingering auras, overwhelming auras, and so forth.
