This spell enables the caster to see any illusion for what it is, and banishes phantasms from the caster's mind. Further, while the spell lasts, the priest can allow one creature per round a new saving throw vs. spell against any illusion or phantasm created by a spell of 6th level or less. To do this, the caster must touch the creature (which might require a successful attack roll) taking no other significant action in the round.

Notes: Uncommon spell.
