Fanguad can you redo? I don't get your example.

What is the result, though? What happens?

Restricted combat spells actually have a precedence for doing detect, that's how
they work vs. a species. But combat seems to get too powerful if it can do
"analysis" - stuff like slay focus, slay magician, etc. Which is why I suggest
not
allowing it.
