Default Re: Magic: Determining maintained spells

I would just house rule that Identify Spell, when cast on a subject, identifies all known spells that are on the subject or are being maintained by the subject (choose one).

I wouldn't like Identify Magic tell you who the target of maintained spells are, though. You know Wally the Wizard is maintained 3 Reverse Missiles and an Illusion Disguise, but not who is disguised or which of his allies are the targets of the Reverse Missiles.

I'd further let Aura give you a sense of any spells maintained on the subject, like "he's got several protection spells on him." That seems in line with the description of Aura.

Occultism or Thaumatology rolls would be useful for better interpreting the results of those spells.
