(ritual); concentration, 5 minutes/mana

As an action, describe or name an object that is familiar to you. You sense the direction to the object’s location, as long as that object is within 400 meters of you. If the object is in motion, you know the direction of its movement.

The spell can locate a specific object known to you, as long as you have seen it up close—within 5 meters—at least once. Alternatively, the spell can locate the nearest object of a particular kind, such as a certain kind of apparel, jewelry, furniture, tool, or weapon.

This spell can’t locate an object if any thickness of lead, even a thin sheet, blocks a direct path between you and the object.

Augment

Locate Creature. You can expend 1 additional mana to locate a creature instead of an object. Describe or name a creature that is familiar to you. You sense the direction to the creature’s location, as long as that creature is within 400 meters of you. If the creature is moving, you know the direction of its movement.

The spell can locate a specific creature known to you, or the nearest creature of a specific kind (such as a human or a unicorn), so long as you have seen such a creature up close—within 5 meters—at least once. If the creature you described or named is in a different form, such as being under the effects of a polymorph spell, this spell doesn’t locate the creature.

This spell can’t locate a creature if running water at least 2 meters wide blocks a direct path between you and the creature.
