Detect undead Detect undead was a divination or necromancy spell that revealed undead creatures within a certain distance from the caster . The earliest version of this spell could be cast in reverse as " cloak undead " . Effects . This spell evolved over time . The earliest version operated in a sphere centered on the caster of radius equal to 10 ft ( 3 m ) times the experience level of the caster and it revealed the location of even invisible or concealed undead . A prickling sensation warned the caster if any undead entered the area during the few minutes of the spell ' s duration . The next version of " detect undead " had a much greater range ( 60 ft / 18 . 3 m plus 10 ft / 3 m per level of the caster ) and duration ( 30 minutes ) but only worked in a corridor 10 ft ( 3 m ) wide , forcing the caster to turn about in order to sweep out the entire surrounding area . This version only gave direction to the undead , not location or distance , and it could be blocked by 1 ft ( 30 cm ) of solid stone , 3 ft ( 0 . 9 m ) of wood or dirt , or a thin sheet of metal . The next version of this spell was limited to a range of 60 ft ( 18 . 3 m ) but worked in a cone - shaped field of view and was much more sensitive . More information could be obtained by remaining motionless and concentrating on the area . At first , only the presence or absence of undead could be detected . After a few more seconds of concentration the number of undead auras and the strength ( either faint , moderate , strong , or overwhelming ) of the strongest aura could be determined . At this point , if a particularly powerful undead was present and its aura overwhelmed a good - aligned caster then the caster became stunned for a few seconds and the " detect undead " spell was broken . If the caster was able to continue concentrating on the area , then at last the location and strength of each aura could be discerned . If an object or wall blocked the line of sight , then direction was apparent but not distance . This spell was sensitive enough to detect lingering auras left behind after an undead creature was destroyed . The weakest undead left an aura only dimly detectable for a few seconds to a few minutes , possibly an hour . The destruction of a powerful undead creature could still be dimly detected by this version of the spell for a few days afterward . Similar to its predecessor , this spell could be blocked by 1 ft ( 30 cm ) of solid stone , 3 ft ( 0 . 9 m ) of wood or dirt , 1 in ( 2 . 5 cm ) of common metal , or a thin sheet of lead . Components . The earliest version of " detect undead " required only verbal and somatic components . Later versions needed a sample of dirt from a grave as a material component . The divine magic version used the caster ' s holy symbol or divine focus instead of grave dirt . History . This spell was originally introduced by Netherese arcanist Trebbe in −2277 DR under the name Trebbe ' s scry undead .

A few structures remained largely intact , such as the imposing Scepter Tower , and the Fountain Hall , home to a dozen splendid , sculpted waterspouts and plants that grew abundantly under their spray . Spellgard sat atop its own spring . Ancient spells pumped water through hundreds of fountains and pools , and in a one vast cellar room was a large well . The castle halls and chambers were predominantly cool , dim , and damp , ideal for fungal growth . . Because of its water source , until the return of Thultanthar and the regrowth of the Anauroch , Spellgard was a popular destination for the Bedine and other desert folk , and a strategic stopping - place for outsiders about to enter the Anauroch desert . A little - known , one - way magical gate in a cellar - cavern of the High Castle in the High Dale ( which pierced the Thunder Peaks to link Cormyr and Sembia , in the Dragonreach lands ) led to a grand inner hall of Spellgard . Anyone taking this magical transport would have to step out over the reeking cesspool of the High Castle at just the right place , and in just the right direction . A misstep meant submersion in the cesspool ; the proper step took the user instantly into a cold , shadowed hall , lit by glowing mosses : Archmitre Hall , in the center of Spellgard .

As a side effect of this practice , horses are drawn to the scent of the termite shells mixed with owlbear saliva , and the owlbears have taken to hiding and waiting for horses to arrive , before pushing them into a termite pit and then devouring them . Pyrolisk s are also drawn to the scent , but owlbears will abandon a pit if a pyrolisk turns up , rather than risk being incinerated . Physical description .
