DescriptionYou can determine whether or not two or more creatures are
related by blood. The amount of information gleaned depends
on how long you study a particular area or set of subjects.
1st round: Whether or not the subjects are related by blood.
2nd round: Number of related subjects and their general
relation to one another (for example, this would reveal that one
subject is a descendant of the other, but it would not specify
“mother” or “grandmother”).
3rd round: Precise relationship between subjects in the
area. A target’s Will save prevents you from determining its
exact relationship with another creature, and only one subject
needs to succeed at this save to prevent you from determining
its relationship with another creature. (So, for instance, if two
brothers are in the area and one succeeds at his Will save,
you could tell that they are siblings, but could not distinguish
whether they are full- or half-siblings.)
Each round, you can turn to detect relations in a new area. The
spell can penetrate barriers, but 6 inches of stone, 1 inch of common
metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 1 foot of wood or dirt will block it.
This spell functions by analyzing the blood and minds of
creatures in the area, collectively examining these traits and
comparing them to those of others in the area while looking for
patterns. Thus, adoptive siblings and parents cannot be detected
with this spell, since they share no blood.
