Making the decision to nobly [i]ignore[/i] the skull kid that had leaped over his shoulders rather then reduce the little bugger to an ashen smear on the floor for it's insolence, Magus watched as the hooded man that had been curled up on the ground before due to... who knows what attempted to make conversation with him and tempt him with a deal that required they kill the Poe. In truth the idea of experimenting with the essence of a poe in relation to magic did peek Magus's interest somewhat, but there was something about the hooded creature opposite him that seemed to make him... weary of any offer he made. All the man would get as a response was a 'Hmm' noise of thought, betraying none of his thoughts in the slightest. 

As the fairy did her thing Magus remained silent (merely moving out of the way in order to not burst into flames) before following through the now opened door in order to enter into the... tomb. It wasn't the first word that came to mind, but it was the closest thing that Magus could think of at the moment that seemed to fit. As they reached what appeared to be a split in the road, a chance to test a theory presented itself. 

Raising his hands, Magus started muttering under his breath, raising his gloved hand a little as a circle of what appeared to be some kind of dark light started to form. Focusing fully on the circle, he turned on the spot ever so slightly in order to perform a proper sweep in order to maximize his results. After twenty seconds, the circle faded away as Magus stopped putting power into it. What he was looking for wasn't there. 

Looking towards the rest of the party, he simply said with a tone of voice that suggested that he would have been using a poker face with it "[color=a0410d]I was attempting to locate this keystone via magical means. There is too much background interference to get an accurate reading.[/color]"
