Spell:
Tracking
Level: Second
Range: 6"
Duration: 1 Turn/Level
Area of Effect: One Creature
Components: V,S,M
Casting Time: 1 Segment
Saving Throw: None
When this spell is cast the magic user makes it possible for themselves and any in their party to track the path of the target creature. This will allow tracking even if there is some other magic in place that would make tracking impossible.
The spell will cause the target creature to leave glowing footprints on whatever surface they come in contact with. If they use a mount then the mount will leave footprints as well. In cases where the target flies or even teleports a solid glowing line will trace their path. Only the caster and their party can see these footprints or lines.
The material component of this spell is a lightning bug. The bug must be crushed and smeared on the ground at the feet of the caster during the casting of the spell.
Disclaimer: The spells that you will see, for how ever long the write ups last, were all written up or conceived of back in the 80's so the terminology may not appropriate for anything other than 1e and depending on how well I did back then it may be slightly off for that as well. If there is any duplication of spells that exist now it is most likely I wrote mine first :) Please feel free to comment on them but try not to be too hard on me. If anyone wishes to use these in anything they print please let me know in advance and all I ask is proper credit.
"Go to the sign of Marvel's Axe, a dubious inn on the edge of the Thieves Quarter, in the City of Greyhawk, and look to your own wrist. If you perceive a bracelet and dangling dice, watch for the next throw in the war between Law and Chaos and be prepared to follow the compelling geas." -Signal
