Know Location
Information
Gives the caster a reasonable idea of his geographical location (to within a couple of miles). This will be expressed in terms of the nearest named features that the caster has heard of (if in doubt as to whether or not the caster has heard of the feature, the GM should roll against the caster’s
Area Knowledge). For example, “You are in the Sahara Desert, roughly 30 miles north of Timbuktu.”
Cost: 2.
Time to cast: 10 seconds. On successive castings, the spell repeats its last answer (right or wrong) until the caster moves a mile or so from the location.
Prerequisites: Magery 1 and Tell Position.
Item
Any map, globe, etc., can be enchanted to show the user’s location whenever the spell is cast. A mark (chosen by the item’s creator) appears at the appropriate spot if successful. No mark appears if the user is outside the map’s boundaries. If the casting fails, either no mark appears or an erroneous one does.
Energy cost to create: 225.
