[J Hooten]

Raban listens for a while before he thinks of what to say on this 
confusing topic, "I know magic detection can be blocked but I still do 
not know how to judge its effectiveness. But I do know one way to find 
out. I am wearing a few magical items including one that is supposedly 
hard to detect. Can anyone here tell me what magic I have? And how 
effective is the hidden one?"

<And the GM can have fun filling in the details if anyone tries>
