Your exposure to the dark side of magic and the occult has made you sensitive to the telltale signs of spellcasting and wary of their results.
Prerequisite: 5 ranks in Sense Motive, lived among the debased civilizations of the Pirate Isles
Benefit: When you see someone casting a spell (not a spell-like ability) you may make a Sense Motive check (DC 20+ level of spell) as a free action. If successful, you kow what school of magic is being used and gain a +2 circumstance bonus on your saving throw against it if it is directed at you or you are in its area of effect.
