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.
Description[]
| “ | 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.
