Magical Item: A Mother's Compass

 

 

Magical item

Type of magic: White

Magic level: Moderate

Rarity: Highly Uncommon

Origin: Created by Sorceress Karteza

 

A Mother’s Compass performs only a single function, which is very basic, but requires a skilled sorcerer or sorceress to cast the enchantment. The Mother’s Compass can be any normal compass and will appear completely normal to all outward appearances.  The enchantment can be removed but is otherwise permanent.

A Mother’s Compass, rather than pointing north, will always point toward home. Its name is derived from its origins as a gift to a daughter who was traveling far from home. Her mother wanted to ensure the daughter could always find her way back home and asked the Sorceress Karteza to create the enchantment.

Because the compass will always point toward a specific location, it is unique to an individual and while it can be viewed by others, it will only guide the original recipient home.
