Shattered Kingdoms

So I've been playing SK on and off for a few years and have found that there are some spells and skills in this game that I just don't use. Maybe it's just me or maybe there's a use for them that I don't know about and I'm willing to accept that.

But honestly.

I've never had to use detect magic for anything. Is this a tribute to DnD where the spell is the only way for you to identify magic items and what they do?

Do you use it?

Should you use it?

and, seeing the answers to the above, would you use it?

You can see if someone has sanctuary, can't think of anything else even remotely useful. Perhaps you could spot polymorph or a similar cabal spell with it or maybe ignore mirror images, probably not though, that's what true sight is for.
