Should be in the realm of necro, paladin, cleric, and possibly shaman, since they're into spirits and all. Make it happen, Cap'n :P
We all know how annoying it is to have sense life/detect invisible and still walk into Bernie.
Sense/Detect Undead
Alternate Name
Sounds interesting ...
To suggest another name, perhaps "sense unlife?"

I think something like a 'sense negative energy' spell, that lets you detect the presence of certain undead that have a link to the negative energy plane. For example, your normal skeleton, zombies and maybe ghouls wouldn't be detectable. However things like wraiths, spectres, vampires, wights, liches and bigger stuff like that would be detected similar to how sense life is.
Perhaps instead of the sense life message 'You sense a lifeform here.' it would be 'You sense dark energy here.'
Match it with the sense life circle.

Thats one of the nasty things about undead, you can't detect when they're lurking in the shadows! Not everything is meant to be easy... Giving people this ability would take away the sadistic joy zonemakers get placing hidden undead backstabbing mobs in their zones. Its one of the challenges in SPOB that helps justify the eq, the hidden undead on the final grid. If such a spell is added it should probably only detect undead of lower or equal level to the player, or have some other limitation. Or maybe the stronger the undead(higher the level) the further away you detect it so you might sense a lich is within a few rooms of you but not know exactly where. The area would be permeated with negative energy. Thus reducing its usefulness on very high level undead.

Yeah, that's something I didn't think about. I think just as how Consider works, if mob is substantially lower in level, you could auto detect ...instead of 'a lifeform' it could be 'you sense negative xxx' maybe have the ansi different too. As in SPOB, it could be the mob of higher level could get saves vs. being detected. Being you are in 'their house, on their plane', the chance should be ambiguous. When you look North for example, you could get downright misleading information. So spamming 'look North' will flag the room. A one shot deal to detect within that room. ?? Sure is a new avenue but I was thinking on the realm that a lich is huge on the totem pole of power, so it would possibly innately detect wimpier undead.
