Umm..Aura, Magesight, and probably more from the Information/Divination lists...

of course in a low tech fantasy setting...if I am a mage...why do I wish to train up competitors...

an apprentice or three to 'use' for fatigue and menial servants perhaps...stringing them along as long as possible without actually teaching them anything useful...

or a formal guild to limit compitition and regulate mages for the crown perhaps??


There are some ways in low tech to find mages...the questions are is anyone looking, how hard, and why? (material components??)

A lot of setting decisions...if you are making a campaign...enjoy...but I have yet to see any 2 campaigns make the same assumptions...a lot arent even close...
