The following sections are recreations based on D&D 5th edition SRD.

Notes
- Game files suggest in BG3 version the spell would work on only one creature type at a time, and celestials and fey are missing from that list. In 5e the spell says "Choose one or more of the following types of creatures: celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, or undead."

How to learn
Classes:
- Class Level 1: Bard, Wizard, and Knowledge Domain
Notes
- In BG3 you learn all stats of an item by default and all effects affecting a creature can be seen in the examine window, making this spell useless in BG3, which is probably why it was cut.

Notes
- This may sound similar to the Scrying Eye NPC in Baldur's Gate 3, however the Scrying Eye is actually a result of another 5e spell - Scrying, which is quite differently implemented in BG3, as the Scrying's orb can only be seen with see invisibility and it is invulnerable to damage and only can be destroyed by Dispel Magic (or a similar effect).
