 A hero with the training and energy to cast the spell will rarely need to utilize it more than once on a given floor&ndash;e.g., hunting for [[gold]] in [[vault]]s, checking for potential [[bones]] and finding the [[Castle]] [[chest]] with the [[wand of wishing]]&ndash;and can take their time to remove armor in a safe spot if necessary; a more minor advantage the spell has over the potion for this is that it will not detect uncloaked [[mimic]]s as objects, which can occur with a cursed potion. The spell is also quite useful when combined with a means of [[magic mapping]] to scope out the level and prioritize specific locations, e.g. when navigating [[Gehennom]] and [[Gehennom mapping|mapping stair locations]].

 Stale object markings are always cleared when mapping the level from this effect. Casting the spell while [[hallucinating]] will have the same effects as described above, but will print different messages and display items as their hallucinated glyphs. As with the potion, if the symbol of a detected object suddenly disappears upon the hero moving onto an adjacent square to it, the item(s) in question are buried.
