Singing Charm

Level 1.

A small item is enchanted to send out a constant call that only the caster can hear. This "song" is audible for many miles, and the magician can always determine the direction and approximate distance to the charm. On Sunday night, the caster slices off an earlobe, which is then placed in a pot or other metallic receptacle. To this is added one point of the caster's blood and the tongue of a bird. The entire mixture must be burned and the remains mixed with the ashes of a cremated corpse. This ash is then placed in a small leather or hide pouch (perhaps the size of an apricot), which must be sewn shut.

System: The Singing Charm can be heard by the wangateur as long as he is within a hundred miles, and the charm sings for a number of nights equal to three times his casting successes. During this time, the caster need merely concentrate to learn the subject's approximate direction and distance (direction is usually accurate to within a few degrees, and distance to within a few yards).
