Locator Compass

Wondrous Item, Rare

Description: A brass compass etched with faintly glowing arcane runes, the Locator Compass appears ordinary until activated. When used, it projects shimmering, color-coded lines that point toward every other Locator Compass magically linked to it. Originally crafted by a meticulous artificer, this device is prized by adventurers, explorers, and those who need to stay connected across vast distances.
Weight: 1 lb
Cost: 300 gp
Properties:
- It's a Compass: Functions as a normal compass, pointing to magnetic north on planes where such a concept exists.
- Locator Link:
  - Usage: Can be activated as an action. Unlimited uses.
  - Effect: Projects glowing lines pointing to all paired Locator Compasses. Each line is color-coded to differentiate between compasses. The lines persist as long as the compass is open and active.
- Pairing: To pair compasses, place them within 1 foot of each other and speak a command word. This process takes 1 minute. A single compass can pair with an unlimited number of others.

Attunement: Yes (requires attunement by reading the manual or being taught by an already attuned user)
- Without the manual or instruction from an attuned user, attunement is impossible.
Notes
- Limitations: Cannot track targets shielded by anti-magic fields or on different planes. Lines are visible only to the user and creatures within 5 feet.
- Warning: If a paired compass is destroyed, the corresponding line vanishes, and the user feels a faint magical pulse.
