You can sense the presence of law. The amount of information revealed depends on how long you study a particular area or subject:
1st Round: Presence or absence of law.
2nd Round: Number of law auras (creatures, objects, or spells) in the area and the strength of the strongest law aura present. If you are of chaotic alignment, the strongest law auras strength is "overwhelming" (see below), and the strength is at least twice your character level, you are stunned for 1 round and the spell ends. While you are stunned, you cant act, you lose any Dexterity bonus to AC, and attackers gain +2 bonuses to attack you.
3rd Round: The strength and location of each aura. If an aura is outside your line of sight, then you discern its direction but not its exact location.
Aura Strength: An auras lawful power and strength depend on the type of lawful creature or object that you're detecting and its HD, caster level, or (in the case of a cleric) class level.
Creature/Object Law Power
Lawful creature HD / 5
Lawful elemental HD / 2
Lawful outsider HD
Cleric of an lawful deity Caster Level
Law Power Aura Strength
Lingering Dim
1 or less Faint
2 - 4 Moderate
5 - 10 Strong
11+ Overwhelming
If an aura falls into more than one strength category, the spell indicates the stronger of the two.
Note: Each round, you can turn to detect things in a new area but if you move more than 2 meters the spell ends.
