The boy flinches every so slightly from your touch. You wouldn't have noticed it if checking on him didn't require using your hands as well as your eyes to examine his wounds. Otherwise, nothing of note. His wounds look about as good as you'd expect given that you tried to heal him with paladin powers and he is possessed by an evil spirit.

Detect magic reveals something that is sinister at best.

Strong arcane, sweeter than honey, colder than ice, sharper than dwarven steel. Waves of blood-red magic caress your skin, whisper calming mantras and words of what could be. Promises of friendship, of status, of new beginnings, all for the simple price of a step in the wrong direction. A step away from Aldaran.

Behind this, through this, flickering faint magic. Arcane again. It is there, then it is gone, flashes of warmth and faith and orange light within the icy promises of the red magic.
