Test of maat

Test of maat was a divine divination spell used only by specialty priests devoted to Horus-Re called Sunhawks.
==Effects==
This spell detected forms of injustice, dishonor, or disorder within a corridor wide and long. The spell accomplished this by determining if creatures within the area of effect were in accordance with the concept of maat–a state of living a happy life and being at peace with the gods. Any offenses against Horus-Re were detected by the spell. If multiple people were within the area of effect then a novice Sunhawk would not be able to determine their individual readings. Intermediate or higher-ranking Sunhawks could focus on individual readings if they paused to concentrate.
Alternatively, test of maat could be used to perceive if a morally ambiguous action fell within the stricture of maat. During the casting the Sunhawk would imagine a course of action taken by themselves or their companions, and the spell would signify whether or not the proposed action would violate the limits of maat.
==Components==
In addition to verbal and somatic components, this spell required as a material component the Sunhawk's holy symbol to cast. The holy symbol was held over their left eye with their right hand during casting.
