I presume your asking if you can do the detect magic yourself?
Sure, just so long as you pay whatever cost there is. It's not unreasonable to allow any details the party feels would be tedious done offline, nor would it be unreasonable to cover anything that someone wants role-played done Online.
Nor would any role-played side encounters have to be done on saturday.
