Make Detect Magic useful again.

[AlwaysSummer Day]

Can we get the old version of detect magic back? I would love to be able to see if I can teleport or not. It made it an incredibly useful can trip where as now it feels unused.

I made a similar post asking about detect magic being made to interact with triggers from spells like "Alarm" and "Rorrick's Rune of Light."

[AlwaysSummer Day]

That is a really cool idea.

I would just like to see it detecting once again whether an area is teleport blocked or not.

[Young Werther]

If you could detect an alarm spell and dispel it that would be really cool.

I'll poke Rasael about it. He might not actually be aware this spell is broken, as I don't see a recent QC report on it.

Is there any news on this?

It has been showing you if teleportation is blocked for a while now, when you cast it and appraise anything. If teleportation is blocked you get a message saying so in the combat log.

Don't know that it does anything else.

[AlwaysSummer Day]

So you have to use the appraise feat on a random object to determine if an area has a ward blocking teleportation. This is very inconvenient. It was wayyyyy better before when it automatically told you. It was also much more intuitive.

[LISA100595]

Yes I think it's still not working if you have to do it that way. I hope it can be fixed to work the way it used to?

[AlwaysSummer Day]

Any news?

This was fixed a while ago. Detect magic now utilises click (or tab) targeting followed by Appraise Creature, which will simultaneously reveal any zone wards present in the area.

[LISA100595]

I think we were waiting on the Detect Magic to work without appraising a creature to detect ward zones.

[AlwaysSummer Day]

Yes because there are zones without anything to appraise.

Basically reverting it to how it was before would be far more convenient and functional.

appraise a item you have , that works aswel.
