Effects

By use of this spell, the caster can determine if a creature is alive, including creatures in a coma or trance, or under the influence of feign death. Any form of mental protection prevents the effectiveness of this spell, as does any thickness of metal. An inch of stone or wood is treated as 10 feet of open space for the purpose of determining whether the spell functions.
