| You alter an item's aura so
that it registers to Detect spells (and spells with similar
capabilities) as though it were non-magical, or a magic item of a kind
you specify, or the subject of a spell you specify. You could make an
ordinary sword register as a +2 Vorpal Sword as far as
magical detection is concerned or make a +2 Vorpal Sword register
as if it were a +1 Vorpal Sword or even a non-magical sword. If the object bearing Nystul's Magic Aura has Identify cast on it or is similarly examined, the examiner recognizes that the aura is false and detects the object's actual qualities if they succeed on a Will save. Otherwise, they believe the aura and no amount of testing reveals what the true magic is. If the targeted item's own aura is exceptionally powerful (if it is an artifact, for instance), Nystul's Magic Aura does not work. Note: A magic weapon, shield, or suit of armour must be a masterwork item, so a sword of average make, for example, looks suspicious if it has a magical aura. Focus: A small square of silk that must be passed over the object that receives the aura. |
