Of Ships And Sea Text

This spell allows the caster to sense the presence of any predatory creatures (including sharks, eels, rays and intelligent marine creatures such as locathah and sahuagin) within a 60-foot radius. Although the caster can magically detect the presence of a predator and determine its location, he cannot actually identify its species until he physically sees it.

The material component is the caster's holy symbol.

Notes: Uncommon for seagoing priests or those from underwater cultures.

Sea of Fallen Stars Text

This spell allows the cast to sense the presence of any predatory creatures (such as sharks, eels, rays, and intelligent beings such as shogun, merrow, or scrags) within a 60-foot radius. Though the caster can detect the presence of any such creatures, he cannot identify the species of the creature(s) detected.
