Aura Compass
I just wanted to jot this down after coming up with the idea for someone else.  It’s a magic item that lets people find people. Â  Or things.  It comes in several levels and it can only find someone of an equal or lesser aura (aka level).  It’s a rough draft and not following the specific magic item format, I just had a brain cloud of an idea for an adventure series that could use this.

Aura Compass –

Crafted from the cornea of a dragon, purple preferred, this arcane device is a exquisite device.  It is etched in gold with arcane sigils and runes, with glowing crystals formed of the tears of an invisible stalker on the cardinal points.  Although fragile in appearance the device is anything but.  A slender black thread, the optic nerve of a beholder is embedded inside.  A small cavity about the size of a four year old human’s end finger joint is cut into the size of the disk, stoppered by the central crystal.

Highly prized by bounty hunters and trophy killers alike these items are rare and unusual due to the cost in lives to gather the materials and the year long construction time.

If a fresh sample of a creature’s flesh, blood or secretions is placed in the cavity the thread will unerringly point in the direction of the creature forever after.

Level 6 – xxxx gold
Level 16 – xxxx gold
Level 26 – xxxx gold

Daily Power - Once per day this device, once activated with the appropriate material from a creature, can be directed to display show the direction, but not distance by the angle of the thread indicator line in the disk. Â  This indicator will stay focused for 60 seconds at which time it will again start to slowly swing in circles.

NOTE: The item can only locate creatures of its level of crafting or less.
