Trova il percorso

Published: Dec. 29, 2021, 8 p.m.

Trova il percorso is a sixth level divination which is cast upon the self, with a casting time of one minute, a duration of one day, a material requirement of a ferrous material such as iron or steel, and requires concentration to maintain.

This spell allows one to become sensitive to magnetic fields, most notably, that of the Earth.  With practice, one can feel the direction of magnetism and follow it for navigation.  This skill is also useful for treasure hunters, and surveyors as metallic objects disrupt the flow of natural magnetic lines.  Caution must be taken to not cast trova il percorso near unnaturally strong magnetic fields such as found in a Magnetic Resonance Imaging machine or MRI.  Doing so will cause an instant migraine and in some cases, unconsciousness. 

Trova il percorso was discovered in Italy in 1874 and immediately became useful in locating bullets and shrapnel from human patients.  Masters of the spell can use it to find specific ores and metals such as gold and silver.  Grandmaster Dr. Gerhard Fischer of Landshut, Germany is so attuned to magnetic fields that he can sense a grain of gold from a distance of one thousand feet.
