-Determines what lies a speaker has told in the prior five minutes before the spell is cast. The definition of "lie" is, as ever, the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
+Creatures may be fairly subjected to torture after the spell has revealed their attempts at deception.  Once they have changed their tale, then the spell may be cast again the next day, or that same day by a different caster.  Thus torture in the game world has a practical, truthful course to follow, as it can be known if a confession is valid, if the creature has indeed been induced to change their faith or if the story regarding a crime is, in the creature's eyes at least, "true."
-The reverse of the spell, conceal lie, will cause lies, even those which are bald-face, seem reasonable and believable. The listener is entitled to a saving throw, however.
+It must be understood that the creature's limitations may cause him or her to believe something is true, when it is not.  In such a case, the creature is not in fact attempting to lie — and therefore is not lying.  This lays out a pertinent limitation to the spell's usefulness.
-The spells detect lie and conceal lie will cancel each other out if both employed, and it will only be known to the caster of detect lie that the reverse was employed. The caster of conceal lie will not be aware of it.
