Leona is capable of “sniffing” out magic with such precision that he is able to accurately tell that Skully possesses the same degree of magic as Epel.
He says that Malleus is “not the only one who can pick up on ‘presences.'”
We know from the game guide that Leona’s pupils constrict in bright light, like those of a housecat:

Leona’s sense of smell seems to be sensitive in general, not just to magic: he tells the prefect, “Can’t you basically figure out what’s in somethin’ just by givin’ it a sniff? No? I don’t understand how you people live.”
Rook says that it is difficult to pick our souvenirs for Leona due to his acute sense of smell, Leona complains of his ceremonial robes smelling “like lizard” after Malleus has worn them, and says all the sugar in the kitchen of Trey’s dream threatens to ruin his sense of smell.
During the NBC event he accurately surmises that Sally poisoned Finkelstein with nightshade that she had covered up with a stronger smell, saying, “l’ve got a real sensitive nose.”
Ruggie says that he and Leona have “preternatural” senses of hearing, but Leona’s might be the keener of the two: we have never seen anyone sneak up on and surprise Leona, though Ruggie has been snuck up on multiple times (including by Leona himself), and Ruggie does not notice Jack eavesdropping on their private conversation in Leona’s bedroom in Book 2, while Leona does.
After Idia is done mumbling to himself about Leona being in his way in the forest behind the school Leona says, “You know I can hear you, right?,” and Idia silently reflects, “That’s right. Beastmen have really good hearing.”
