This spell helps locate a known or familiar object. The priest casts the
spell, slowly turns, and will sense when he is facing in the direction of the object
to be located, provided the object is within range--for example, 90 yards for
3rd-level priests, 100 yards for 4th, 110 yards for 5th, etc. The spell locates
such objects as apparel, jewelry, furniture, tools, weapons, or even a ladder
or stairway. Once the caster has fixed in his mind the items sought, the spell
locates only that item. Attempting to find a specific item, such as a kingdom's
crown, requires an accurate mental image. If the image is not close enough to
the actual item, the spell does not work; in short, desired but unique objects
cannot be located by this spell unless they are known by the caster. The spell
is blocked by lead.
The casting requires the use of a piece of lodestone.
The reversal, obscure object, hides an object from location by spell, crystal ball, or similar means for eight hours. The caster must touch the object being
concealed.
Neither application of the spell affects living creatures.
