@Dan_Dillon_1 If someone casts Hunter’s Mark, or really any similar spell with no particular visual cue (like the sparkle of Faerie Fire), does the target know they’re under the effect of a spell?

Do you know if you're affected by a spell?
Not necessarily! Only if the spell has observable effects (fireball), or the description tells you that you realize magic was used (charm person).

It depends on the spell for my table, as a DM I try to keep track of my spellcasting PCs and if a spell that they know or would have a lot of experience with is being cast upon them sometimes I’ll give them an insight or arcana roll to recognize the incantation or hand gestures.Now of course it doesn't directly twll them if they've been affected by the spell but it does make it easier to pick up on if they already have an idea of what the spell can do.

Seeing the actual casting of a spell (meaning components) is immediately obvious in itself, whether or not you know what specific spell they’re creating.
