So if you as GM REALLY wanted meld into stone to be undetectable I wouldn't find it outrageous. It is a functioning spell BUT the magic is arguably hidden behind the face of the stone (since the spell states "Nothing that goes on outside the stone can be seen" so I'd interpret that to mean you can't be seen either) and I don't let detect magic see through walls or anything. I think detect magic can detect meld into stone. You cannot see the hidden magic dagger's aura concealed under the assassin's jacket you goddamn ridiculous useful cantrip! You hear me! I've also said detect magic can NOT see through anything. Personal Houserule? Illusions auto-beat detect magic.
