descr: "You send out a pulse that registers the presence of magic. You receive no\
  \ information beyond the presence or absence of magic. You can choose to ignore\
  \ magic you're fully aware of, such as the magic items and ongoing spells of you\
  \ and your allies.\n\nYou detect illusion magic only if that magic's effect has\
  \ a lower level than the level of your *detect magic* spell. However, items that\
  \ have an illusion aura but aren't deceptive in appearance (such as an *invisibility\
  \ potion*) typically are detected normally.  \n\n---\n**Heightened (3rd)**  You\
  \ learn the school of magic for the highest-level effect within range that the spell\
  \ detects. If multiple effects are equally strong, the GM determines which you learn.\
  \  \n\n**Heightened (4th)**  As 3rd level, but you also pinpoint the source of the\
  \ highest-level magic. Like for an imprecise sense, you don't learn the exact location,\
  \ but can narrow down the source to within a 5-foot cube (or the nearest if larger\
  \ than that)."
