This spell determines the number of karma points that a target creature has. (For rules on karma, see the special notes to the reincarnation sight spell.) In creatures from societies not based on India, it determines level or Hit Dice. An unwilling creature is allowed a saving throw vs. spell to avoid the revelation of its karma. This spell does not directly affect the mind of the creature, so Wisdom bonuses and mind shielding do not help avoid the effect. The priest can examine multiple creatures, but one that saves against the effect cannot be examined again during that casting of the spell.
The reverse of the spell, karma mask, hides a subject's karma for 24 hours, though any divine being can see through the mask.
Notes: Common for priests from a vedic (Indian) culture; otherwise very rare. (Updated
