Eh? Detecting secret doors is an innate ability, and Detect Illusions has nothing to do with it. Theives get a 100% chance to detect secret doors while in detect mode, and a base 15% chance of detecting secret doors when not in detect mode.

Elven Thieves get a 20% bonus.
Dwarves Thieves gets a 10% bonus.
Halfling Thieves get a 5% bonus.

Mages get a 5% chance to detect secret doors.
Fighters get a 10% chance to detect secret doors.
Clerics get a 10% chance to detect secret doors.

How else do you think us non-thief soloists detect secret doors? [img]tongue.gif[/img] It is all in the manual.

Detect Illusion has nothing to do with detecting secret doors, and it is in my opinion, mediocre. This is because it is not a passive skill, but an active one. A character can cast True Sight and proceed to do other stuff, a character must maintain Detect Illusions or else it is useless.
