Lesser Rhabdomancy (Wizard Spell)

This is a more powerful variant of the locate object spell, one known and practiced only by rhabdomancers in their pursuit of adventure. Whereas that spell will only dowse for objects and sites, lesser rhabdomancy allows the wizard to divine for creatures, individuals, and locations. During the spell's casting, the rhabdomancer must decide upon what they are seeking. If they are divining for a certain race or creature, the dowsing rod will point and lead to any such if within range of 20 yards per level. An individual or specific place may be named during the casting. No real range is necessary as the dowsing rod will begin tugging to lead in the direction that person or site can be found; if not reached by the end of the spell the rod becomes still. Note that though the caster need never have met or seen either the person and location sought after, they or it must be referred to by name. Thus, using lesser rhabdomancy to hunt down the “captain of the city guard” or “the nearest armory” causes the spell to fail; rather “Captain Jenkins” or “The Shrine of Exegete” would lead the wizard onward.
