Identify Tighmaevril

Identify tighmaevril allows the caster to distinguish the bloodline-draining “bloodsilver” from other metals. Because of the spell's relatively short duration and limited area of effect, it is most useful for confirming whether a found object is indeed forged of tighmaevril.

The spell causes all tighmaevril within the chosen area of effect to glow a bright burgundy color and to pulse in a manner visible only to the caster. If, for some reason, the caster cannot see the tighmaevril affected by the spell (because of magical darkness or interposing walls), he will sense the metal's location, but not its shape or size.

The material component, which melts during the casting, is a band of copper wire wrapped around a rod of steel.

Notes: Common in Cerilia, the Birthright setting; otherwise rare. This spell is castable outside the Cerilian setting.
