1. That would be accurate, yes! The incense will absolutely trash elemental sensitivity and muddy any identification of it up completely, like a fuzzy picture on an old TV. It's notable that it is possible to detect elemental energy within the incense itself, although again it will be a complete hazy jumble of conflicting input that can, when the incense is very dense, almost seem like an overload but indistinguishable amount of everything. Where the incense is thin, or inside the cities, it would be much easier to discern specific elements and the "planet's will," for lack of a better term, which there will be more on very soon! One major obstacle is the incense's tendency to dampen this magical sense over time, and to make magic harder to access, especially the more it's used. This will also be coming up very soon!

2. Nothing in particular about the area itself, but she may get a strong magical read on the Phoenix. As a baby it will be pretty harmless but not the most receptive to humans, although it will very much appreciate food. It grows fast and will reach the next stages of its life in matters of weeks, so it won't take long for it to become properly flaming and flying around on its own.
