Appearance: A “flashlight”-like beam that creates a spot of light on the object before it takes effect. Wand must remain pointed at the target.

Description: The beam will cause layers to fade away (visibly, though not actually) and show the caster what is underneath (i.e. muscle layer, organ layer, bone). Caster needs only to say “Further” or “Pull back” to cycle among layers. Lasts until the wand is moved or the caster loses concentration.

Regulations: Controlled
