Know Bloodline Strength

This spell affects only blooded characters. If the individual fails a saving throw vs. spell, the caster learns the relative strength of his bloodline-tainted, minor, major, or great. Because stronger bloodline strengths are easier to identify, the being makes his saving throw with the following modifiers to the die roll: tainted, +2; minor, +0; major, -2; great, -4.

There is a base 50% chance (minus 5% for every level of the caster) that a tainted bloodline's strength cannot be determined, even if the being fails the saving throw.

The material component is a small vase or jar made of malleable metal (brass, gold, tin, etc.). The component collapses, as if crushed in a strong hand, when the spell is cast. The caster measures the extent of the crumpling to determine the relative bloodline strength. If the spell is cast on an unblooded character, the vase remains uncrushed.

Notes: Common on Cerilia, the Birthright setting; unknown elsewhere.
