Detect Metal

1st-level divination (ritual)

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: Self

Components: V, S, M (a nugget of ore)

Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

Class(es): paladin, sorcerer, wizard

For the duration, you can sense the presence of metals within 30 feet of you. You know if there is a construct or other creature made of metal within 30 feet of you, as well as where the creature is located. You also sense the presence of creatures wearing metal armor or wielding metal weapons; while you do not automatically know their location, you increase your passive Perception against them by 2 and have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks to detect them. You also have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks to notice secret doors or traps that have metallic components. When you cast the spell, you can detect all metal or can specify one or more specific types of metal (such as silver and gold). In the latter case, you detect only those metals and ignore others. This spell can penetrate up to 1 foot of stone or 3 feet of wood or dirt but is blocked by any thickness of metal.
