	* '''Rune Magic:''' The obvious runes to include in detect magic are [[Sular]], [[Aesh]], [[Ophis]] and [[Irremais]] all of which deal with knowledge or information. The runes [[Diras]] and [[Wyr]] might also be appropriate to some casters, especially when exploring a mysterious or enigmatic magical effect. Finally, a rune that reflects the nature of the target might suggest itself - the rune of [[Queros\|plots]] suits an attempt to detect an arcane mark for example.		* '''Rune Magic:''' The obvious runes to include in detect magic are [[Sular]], [[Aesh]], [[Ophis]] and [[Irremais]] all of which deal with knowledge or information.

[[The Doctor]] works through careful examination and study of a target, while [[the Witch]] represents a more intuitive approach. [[The Lantern\|Lantern]], which reveals things when lit, is also a good match for this spell - either pretending to kindle an invisible flame in an actual phys-rep or calling its authority as a tool of revelation and discovery.		* '''Dramaturgy:''' Two [[Dramaturgy#The_Personae\|personae]] are associated with this spell.
