You hold up your holy symbol and detects emanations of “unholy” with a ray that extends straight out 5’ wide and 60’ or more ahead of the symbol. The definition of “unholy” varies based on the cleric: generally, it encompasses creatures considered unholy to the cleric’s deity and those with clearly harmful intent. Depending on the strength of the spell, it may detect even more subtle dangers. This spell does not reveal creatures that are otherwise hidden but does inform the cleric that evil intentions radiate from a certain position. This spell manifests differently depending on the deity. For example, it may be seen as a radiant light behind the unholy creature or object that is only visible to a cleric of Dasyra.
