The amount of information revealed depends on how long you study a particular area or subject as follows: * **1st Round:** Presence or absence of magical auras. * **2nd Round:** Number of different magical auras and the power of the most potent aura. * **3rd Round:** The strength and location of each aura. If the items or creatures bearing the auras are in line of sight, you can make [[priority:skills:knowledge|Knowledge]] (Arcana) skill checks to determine the school of magic involved in each (Make one check per aura: DC 15 + spell level, or 15 + 1/2 [[priority:magic#caster_level|Caster Level]] for a nonspell effect). If the aura emanates from a magic item, you can attempt to identify its properties (see [[priority:skills:knowledge|Knowledge (Arcana)]]). Magical areas, multiple types of magic, or strong local magical emanations may distort or conceal weaker auras. Auras may radiate from magical items, spellcasters, and active spells.
