As the caster turns, life can be scanned for in every direction, requiring a full six rounds to scan in a complete circle. There's no need for the caster to concentrate on the spell.
The dweomer is able to reveal the presence of life beyond such obstacles as earth, wood or stone, or beneath a water's surface. Because the spell can detect most forms of life, the caster might use it to detect a shapeshifting creature or metamorph.
When used in conjunction with foraging, regardless of the range, by a caster who knows just when the spell should be cast, the amount of food gathered should be doubled.
