Raban grins at what he learns, "Frema, I would think you were quite good at such detections, but you did not see the hidden one. That one may be safe for this trip. The others, even the spare items I had from before, must be left with the other magic for later retrieval. If you are willing to try, can you tell if I have any detectable powers? Sadly I expect Blessings would detect as magic, so I cannot use those on this mission easily. Unless I can limit them or remove them at need? I have never tried to do that. And if you are willing, I would like to determine if Insight can detect that you have magical abilities." To the others, "If I try the Insight spell, I would wish to test it against more people just to be sure. Is it possible for someone to have a magical ability and not know it? Actually yes, I know that is possible, so it could be important to know of such things before we find out when we do not suspect problems. If I see something, should I say so to everyone or keep such private? Feel free to say what you can detect about me, I think I can trust everyone with a few secrets. I have even shown some of them already that I have hidden from most everyone else. I think it is important to know what an enemy could discover or how little that shows by any means we can verify. These magic hunters may even have innate magical abilities that aid them, or even divine ones? Such should be rare but possible and if so, will be used in more important places... Maybe you have already dismissed all the things that are worrying me, but if so, please tell me about it so I know."
