After invoking the spell, the caster is able to move and sweep areas throughout the spell's duration. Each object, creature or feature to be examined requires one round. The actual form of the poison is not determined, though the dweomer gives a very good sense of how toxic the poison is, or would be if imbibed or forced upon others. Likewise, the spell can discriminate between a venom, an alchemical substance, an ingestive poison or one that's insinuative.
Countermeasures
Although the spell gives no benefit in itself as to the treatment of those suffering from poison, it can help in guiding an herbalist or other physician in proscribing such aid. This benefit increases the chance of the antidote's success by 10%, +2% per level of the caster.
