True Seeing – Shukenja (Reversible)

(See also: True Seeing (Priest Spell)) The shukenja using this spell sees all things as they truly are, including secret doors, displaced beings, and invisible, ethereal, and astral persons and things. Illusions are pierced, and polymorphed, altered, and magiced things appear as they should be. Alignments can be determined. The spell's reverse, false seeing, causes the person affected to see the reverse of the truth.

Both spells require an ointment that must be aged for 1 d6 months, the ointment for true seeing is made of rare powdered mushrooms, saffron, and fat, while the reverse contains oil, poppy dust, and mare's sweat.

Notes: Common for oriental priests; otherwise, very rare.
