The lenses of these goggles are hewn from smoky quartz. A tiny hourglass decorates the upper corner of each side of the frame.

When you activate these goggles, you automatically know whether any visible creature within 30 feet is alive, dead, undead, or neither alive nor dead (such as a construct). This power can be blocked by any effect that would prevent the effect of a detect undead spell.
This ability functions three times per day.
