# 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.
