Powder of Magic Detection

Powder of Magic Detection: Under close inspection, this ordinary-looking powder can be seen for what it truly is—an extremely fine powder of minute, crystalline granules. When this powder contacts a magical object, the crystals spark and flash with a rainbow of colors. This effect does not reveal the nature or intensity of the enchantment—only that the item is magical.
A small pinch of powder is needed for each use, no matter how large or small the object. Each packet contains 1d10+10 pinches. Powder that is placed on a nonmagical item yields no effect and cannot be reused.
Powders: Magical powders are usually stored in small paper packets, cloth pouches, or hollow blow tubes made of glass, wood, metal, or bone. A packet or pouch can be shaken out to cover the area all around the user to a radius of 5 feet. This action lasts an entire round. Note that powders used in this manner can affect the user.
Alternatively, powder in a tube can be blown outward in a ten-foot-long cone shape that is one foot wide at the apex and five feet wide at the end. Used in this manner, the powder has no chance of affecting the user (unless it rebounds on him due to wind or similar circumstances).
Powders may also be blown from the user's hand, but can only affect a single individual within five feet of the user.
