Sometimes the first step in healing someone is figuring out what is wrong in the first place.

Description

Diagnosis isn't needed very often, but when it is needed it can provide very useful information. More often than not Diagnosis is used to get basic information about a plot, identifying exactly what is wrong with someone.

All conditions (except the Stolen Spark condition) are revealed to a character who casts the spell. One of the spell's primary functions is to reveal "What is wrong with this person?", and often the answer to that question comes from a condition.

Effect

The caster can 'Diagnose' one patient, learning all conditions on the patient (except Stolen Spark). For any condition discovered diagnosis will reveal appropriate ways to cure it. If diagnosing a corpse, it will reveal the cause and method of death. This will also detect the presence of the patient's own spark.

While using diagnosis the caster is protected from catching any harmful afflictions due to examining the patient.

Detailed Interactions

Diagnosis is intended as a means to examine the internal conditions and magical workings of a target, as opposed to identifying the nature of external injuries which are the purview of the first aid skill.
