Dweomercraft (sage study)

Incorporates the power to detect and understand unreal manifestations - creatures whose existence defies principles such as biology or physics, beyond what magic can account for. Such creatures include those originating on other planes, such as air maidens, angels, demons, devils, drons, elementals, mindflayers, slaad, valkyrie or various creatures of the Cthulhu mythos, as well as those whose translation through death from the prime material to elsewhere has been disrupted, such as undead.

For clerics, this knowledge will greatly improve the turning of undead. For all classes, detection and determination of manifestations and their influence, as well as their means to travel between planes, will prove useful.
