Gavin's Gamekeeper's Gaze

2nd-level divination

When you cast Gavin's Gamekeeper's Gaze, you gain the ability to detect cheating in games of chance within your immediate vicinity. The spell allows you to discern if any participants are using non-magical means to break the established rules of the game, such as marked cards, loaded dice, or sleight of hand.

Upon casting, you focus on the game or games within range, and the spell alerts you to any acts of cheating, provided they clearly violate the rules of the game. It does not detect strategic play or rule-bending that falls within the acceptable parameters of the game.

Gavin's Gamekeeper's Gaze is especially useful in settings where fair play is crucial, such as casinos, tournaments, or friendly games where stakes are high.
