Level 2 Abjuration ()
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Self (50-foot cube)
Components: V, S, M (a tally stick and a piece of chalk)
Duration: 8 hours
When you cast the spell you learn the exact number of separate objects within the cube that weigh 1 pound or more. A closed container counts as one object, and its contents are not counted.
For the duration you know the instant that number changes, and from which quarter of the cube. You learn nothing of what was added, taken away, or divided, and nothing of who did it. If an object within the cube carries a mark of custody that you set, you also learn where in the cube it now stands.
The tally never reads low. Where the count cannot be resolved — a case within a case, a crate that is sealed, a thing that is two things — it returns the higher number, and it returns that same higher number at every casting made in that room at that hour.
The cube increases by 10 feet for each spell slot level above 2.
