Detect Magic
Detect Magic is a 1st-level divination available to Artificer, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Herald, Sorcerer, Wizard.
Until the spell ends, you automatically sense the presence of magic within range, and you can use an action to study the aura of a magic effect to learn its schools of magic (if any).
The spell penetrates most barriers but is blocked by 3 feet of wood or dirt, 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, or a thin sheet of lead.
