By means of this spell, the shukenja is able to see the true form of any shapechanging creature. The true form is the shape most commonly assumed by the creature. If the creature is currently in that form, the spell reveals that it is a shapechanger but does not reveal the other forms possible. The spell does not disclose the specific type of shapechanger, the alignment, or the intentions of the creature. One creature or one square yard of area can be examined each round.
The material component for this spell is balm of honey and lotus flower smeared on the eyelids of the caster.
Notes: Common for priests of an oriental setting; otherwise, very rare.
