The SendingStone review

Detect Poison and Disease is a useful spell for any adventurer who wants to stay ahead of potential dangers. It allows the caster to sense the presence of poisonous or diseased creatures or objects within a certain radius for up to ten minutes. While the spell may not reveal the exact nature or severity of the threat, it provides valuable information that can help in decision making. In addition, the relatively low level of this spell makes it accessible to a wide range of spellcasters, including Clerics, Druids, Paladins, and Rangers. Overall, Detect Poison and Disease is a solid choice for those looking to enhance their situational awareness and avoid unnecessary risk.
