The spell provides insight into the nature of the charm affecting the target, including its form and method of influence, but it does not reveal the identity of the charmer or the source of the enchantment.
Once the spell is cast, it immediately reveals the presence of enchantment upon all creatures within its area of effect. The detection is instantaneous and cannot be adjusted or redirected once the spell is discharged. Any individuals within range who are subject to a charm effect will be identified, making the spell highly useful in uncovering magical manipulation and coercion.
The spell does not break the charm or dispel its effects; it only provides knowledge of its existence. However, this information can be invaluable in determining how to proceed, whether by seeking to remove the enchantment through other means or by confronting the source of the influence. Given the subtlety of charm magic, Detect Charm is a crucial tool for identifying magical deception and manipulation, especially in political or social encounters where coercion may be at play.
