Cartographer's Amulet (Magic Amulet)

This amulet, constructed from a huge flawless jacinth, is cut into a lens-shaped disk 6 inches in diameter and 4 inch thick. It has a platinum setting and chain. Twelve diamond chips are placed at 30” intervals on the left side of the setting and a single nine surrounds the top chip.
With the proper command words, the user can direct the amulet to display a scale map of the immediate, surrounding area once every three days. Remaining on the face of the amulet for one turn, the map can show either a small or large area. The rune indicates true north. The amulet must be held in the user's hand when the command word is spoken.
The small area map, when used indoors, shows the area within the 60' radial area of the amulet. The map shows passages, stairways, doors, and other normal features such as fountains, furnishings and loose treasure. The user sees in the amulet what would be seen viewing the displayed area with normal vision in daylight. The map does not however, reveal traps, secret doors, creatures, nor the nature of what is shown.
Once the map is invoked, the user can describe up to four objects and the amulet locates them by number on the map. The user must know exactly what each object is. It is possible that secret doors or very familiar types of traps could be located in the same manner. If there are two or more of a particular objects within range, only the one closest to the amulet is shown. The user can describe the same object more than once, up to a limit of four times.
Outdoors, the small area map displays the area within a 60-yard radius of the amulet showing hills, cave mouths, buildings, and other terrain features. Hidden objects do not appear if the user could not discern them in daylight using normal vision, although they may be located if the user possesses the proper description.
The large area map can only be used outdoors and shows the area within a 3-league radius of the amulet. The map is, out of necessity, less detailed than the small area map but otherwise has the same features. The user can command the amulet to locale only two special objects when using the map.
