 * "Mialee, what does scan say about its power level?" "IT'S OVER CR 9000!!!!" -- Dracomortis 18:31, January 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, if a farmer is CR 1/2 and has a power level of 5, and power level is a linear scale while CR is an exponential one, I do believe that a creature with power level 9000 would be about CR 19. --Foxwarrior 18:48, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Also, some minor thoughts:


 * 1000 gp is very expensive at level 3, even though it is a one-time cost.
 * This spell could probably sit with a flat +2 bonus as a cantrip, which I think I would like even more.
 * Since this is second level, it could probably provide a detect magic against the target, identifying buff spells.
 * Are unique beings able to be identified with this spell? That should probably be covered in some way: it should at least be able to tell me Goku's class levels.
 * Maybe no matter what it should give the creature's CR?
