Map of Navigation (Magic Map)

This map can be used to record nearby areas on land or at sea. On land, the map shows a 20-mile radius around the user, recording only normal terrain features (forests, cities, villages, roads, trails, etc.) as per a map of mapping. However, this map was actually designed by Madd and Ztxar to work only on bodies of water. Somehow, the two made a mistake in the enchantment of this map, which led to the map's ability to work on land as well. The map is more potent when used from a waterborne ship. Usually, it has 30d4 charges. The map of navigation has a 30-mile radius of effect when used from a ship. In this event, however, it will map no land features beyond a 20-mile radius. Thus, an island 22 miles away would be missed, as would features on a shoreline 27 miles away. A lake only two miles beyond the shoreline mentioned above would not appear, either. Other information, like sea currents, ocean depths, ice floes, and so forth, may be gained from casting legend lore while using the map of navigation. The DM may add other useful or interesting navigational information as desired in this event. Additionally, ships within a 30-mile range are displayed on the map when legend lore is cast, and sea creatures over 20 feet in length and avian creatures over 25 feet long are shown as well. Each major feature appears in pictorial form with its own distinctive shape and coloration. The user automatically understands how to read the map and knows what each symbol means, though onlookers cannot see them.
