>Is there enough area exposed to tell if the earth face has been recently disturbed, or would we have to move some things out of the way to tell for certain?
>Fairys are magic, at least of a sort. Can we douse for those?
>If we had a precise description of the wine in question could we douse for that? Say, 'bottles of '47 Razua.'?
>None of what you can see shows signs of disturbance, though several feet of wall are too obscured by crates and sacks to be visible.
>Sometimes. While fairies are undeniably magical, they are fundamentally manifestations of nature, and thus have a tendency to blend in with the ambient background of the world all around them. You suppose one could consider it a sort of natural camouflage. Some are easier to sense than others; you think it may be an idiosyncratic thing. If a fairy was doing something actively magical, you would probably be able to detect it. You suspect this would include them going poof, though you've never caught one in the act to test this theory. In contrast, magic as practiced by magicians is essentially an artificial construct, and thus stands out much more distinctly, though you know there are techniques to mask this as well. You'd like to think you're good enough to see past most attempts at this, but you'd be remiss to consider yourself infallible.
>No. If you had an actual sample as a baseline, you
might be able to dowse for something similar, but you wouldn't count on getting much range out of it.
