Disambiguation icon This page is about the wizard version of the spell. For the priest version, see Know Alignment (priest).

Know Alignment allows the wizard to determine a creature's alignment.

Effects[]

Know Alignment
A Know Alignment spell enables the Mage to exactly read the aura of a creature. If the creature rolls a successful Saving Throw vs. Spell, the caster learns nothing about that particular creature from the casting. When a character is hit by this spell, he will glow red if evil, green if good, and white if neutral. Certain magical devices negate the power of the Know Alignment spell.


Contrary to the spell description, there is no saving throw.
