Locator Compass

Wondrous Item, Rare

---

• Description: A brass compass etched with faintly glowing arcane runes, the Locator Compass appears ordinary until activated. When used, it projects shimmering, color-coded lines that point toward every other Locator Compass magically linked to it. Originally crafted by a meticulous artificer, this device is prized by adventurers, explorers, and those who need to stay connected across vast distances.

  

• Weight: 1 lb

• Cost: 300 gp

• Properties:

  • It's a Compass: Functions as a normal compass, pointing to magnetic north on planes where such a concept exists.
  • Locator Link:
    • Usage: Can be activated as an action. Unlimited uses.
    • Effect: Projects glowing lines pointing to all paired Locator Compasses. Each line is color-coded to differentiate between compasses. The lines persist as long as the compass is open and active.
  • Pairing: To pair compasses, place them within 1 foot of each other and speak a command word. This process takes 1 minute. A single compass can pair with an unlimited number of others.

• Attunement: Yes (requires attunement by reading the manual or being taught by an already attuned user)

  • Without the manual or instruction from an attuned user, attunement is impossible.

• Notes

  • Limitations: Cannot track targets shielded by anti-magic fields or on different planes. Lines are visible only to the user and creatures within 5 feet.
  • Warning: If a paired compass is destroyed, the corresponding line vanishes, and the user feels a faint magical pulse.
