This spell makes your eyes glow blue and allows you to see magical auras within 120 feet of you. The effect is similar to that of a Detect Magic spell, but greater arcane sight does not require Concentration and discerns aura location and power more quickly, without requiring a check.
You know the location and power of all magical auras within your sight. An aura's power depends on a spell's functioning level or an item's Caster Level, as noted in the following table:
| Spell or Object | Faint | Moderate | Strong | Overwhelming |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Functioning spell (spell level) | 3rd or lower | 4th-6th | 7th-9th | 10th+ (deity) |
| Magic item (Caster Level) | 5th or lower | 6th-11th | 12th-20th | 21st+ (artifact) |
If the items or creatures bearing the auras are in line of sight, you automatically know the school of magic involved in each.
If you concentrate on a specific creature within 120 feet of you as a Standard Action, you can determine whether it has any Spellcasting or spell-like abilities, whether these are arcane or divine (spell-like abilities register as arcane), and the strength of the most powerful spell or spell-like ability the creature currently has available for use.
As with Detect Magic, you can use this spell to identify the properties of magic items, but not artifacts (see Spellcraft).
