Some people have questioned why conjurers, the masters of protection, have a
weak spell when it comes to detecting prots. The answer to this is simple.
They are the masters of protection. Not information. If the only thing aura
detection did was detect prots they had cast, maybe they would have a point.
But aura detection will also find spells such as stat curses or stat boosters,
neither of which the conjurer can cast or remove. Also, it is equally good for
finding what spells a monster is using on itself. Being masters of protection
does not entitle them to extra special information about that sort of thing.

Jster's trivia is a party spell. Bards are amongst the top, if not THE top,
party guild in the game. If you look at their spell list (lullaby, war
ensemble, and that f*cking unity spell) you'll agree. It therefore stands to
reason that they'd have a party spell of this magnitude. Now, I will admit
that it might scan monsters as well, and I do not know for sure why it does
that. It might be unintentional, I'm not sure. But I do know that bards get
"hit everyone" spells far more than other guilds, and jester's trivia is no
exception.

Well I dunno about you but if i had magic casting abilities and I casted lets
say AoA at someone i'd more than likely know what it looked like after one or
two casts of it. It's not like you cast it then go .."Oooo, look at the
bunny!". And i'd more than likely call it AoA and not Armour of Aether in my
own head :P
