| Detect MagicDetect Magic (12): This innate ability lets the ethereal filcher determine whether the subject (person, object, or area) is under the effects of magic. Roll against the ethereal filcher’s Per minus range penalties (p. B550) to the subject, which the creature must be able to see or touch. If the ethereal filcher is familiar with the spells in question, this will reveal them. Otherwise, use the margin of success to determine how much information to give the creature. | 12 | This innate ability lets the ethereal filcher determine whether the subject (person, object, or area) is under the effects of magic.

- Original GURPS conversion by Enraged Eggplant, from Monsters (May 11, 2024); adapted and republished with permission.
- GCS ancestry draft: gcs/ethereal-filcher.gct
- Source template total: 212 points.
- Library-rebuilt template total: 212 points.
- CER was computed from parsed Typical Stats using the Dungeons On Automatic baseline CER path.
- CER recomputed from the reviewed Typical Stats through the canonical Dungeons on Automatic CER path: OR 6, PR 1, CER 7, threat tier minor.
- Encounter metadata derived (solitary): average number appearing 1, wandering weight 4. Encounter metadata derived for 0.2.0 from the reviewed threat tier and creature class (appearing: minor 4 / standard 2 / major 1 / severe 1, forced to 1 for solitary classes — including swarms, which are a single multi-body creature — and raised to 6 for gregarious minor creatures; wandering weight: minor 4 / standard 3 / major 2 / severe 1). The fan-conversion source states no appearing-in-numbers or wandering values, so these are derived, not source mechanics.
- Lair, treasure, and grappling remain unpopulated in 0.2.0 by package policy: the authorized fan-conversion source states no lair, treasure, or grappling values, and review declines to invent them. See review/policy/0.2.0-empty-field-policy.md.
- Review approved by automated-mechanical-review on 2026-07-26 (batch ee-2026-07-26-b4-special-mechanics); GCS fidelity check passed, DOA playability check passed.
- Special-mechanics record. Mechanics the CER path cannot price are named per record in review/reports/cer-audit.md rather than folded into the number, and encounter counts are capped where a save-or-disable attack is present.
