descr: "You send out a pulse that registers the presence of magic. You receive no\
  \ information beyond the presence or absence of magic. You can choose to ignore\
  \ magic you're fully aware of, such as the magic items and ongoing spells of you\
  \ and your allies. You detect illusion magic only if that magic's effect has a lower\
  \ level than the level of your detect magic spell. However, items that have an illusion\
  \ aura but aren't deceptive in appearance (such as an invisibility potion) typically\
  \ are detected normally.  \n\n**Heightened (3rd)**  You learn the school of magic\
  \ for the highest-level effect within range that the spell detects. If multiple\
  \ effects are equally strong, the GM determines which you learn.  \n\n**Heightened\
  \ (4th)**  As 3rd level, but you also pinpoint the source of the highest-level magic.\
  \ Like for an imprecise sense, you don't learn the exact location, but can narrow\
  \ down the source to within a 5-foot cube (or the nearest if larger than that)."
