Aquiel's isn't a grey spell and pretty much every mage with a spell outside their element knows it. So what's to say the same thing wouldn't happen with this new spell?

Here is the thing. While Aquiel's auspex can allow for mind reading I do not agree with it that you can find mages. In all 13 of my mages with about 8 being void mages and 10 of them knowing auspex I never discovered anyone was a mage by their thoughts. People don't use think enough to really find out anything good. Second given the lack of a manus it makes learning spells of other elements next to impossible and this would apply to this as well.

However with this spell it is far more likely to discover a mage than if you were using auspex only.

I am going to agree with Voxumo a little on this. With the loss of the Manus, finding people to teach you outside your element is highly unlikely, so Aquiel's is not a viable option. Making this a high circle grey spell, means that access to it is readily available, and it also gives a choice to the mage able to cast it on if they want to find latents/mages or not. Making it more about what your character would do, instead of what the player wants to do.
