As you cast the spell, you draw out the potent scents trapped within all magic. Choose a magical effect you are aware of that’s within range. That effect releases a scent specific to the creature that created it. If you are familiar with the creature, you automatically know that the magical effect was created by them.

If you are not familiar with the creature, you can make an ability check using your spellcasting ability and add your Proficiency Bonus to the roll. Refer to the table below to determine what information you glean from the scent, based on the result of your check.
