Working on updating another spell, this one 7th level and restricted to Good and Neutral witches.
Seek -- Ran: special, Dur: special, Area: one item, place, or creature. Seek is a high-powered version of locate object, allowing a witch to determine the location of any single item, place or creature and visualize all major aspects of the immediate surroundings (region of the world plus everything within 30’). The closer the physical proximity of the witch to the item, the more complete the image the witch receives. If a witch is not personally familiar with the target sought, the results are one step worse than normal. Spells or items that defeat scrying or detection are effective against seek, although some information, no matter how cryptic, twisted, or redundant, is always revealed if the object truly exists. A witch can attempt to breach such protections if she holds some object closely related to the one she seeks, such as a lock of hair from an individual, a pinch of dirt from a location, or a scabbard from a sword. Even a glimpse of an artifact can be gained in this way, although such related objects tend to be hard to come by, age the witch 1d4 years, and only allow for the least precise viewing. The spell may only be employed by good and neutral witches, takes one turn to cast, the material component is a small crystal lens worth at least 500gp, and casting the spell ages the witch by one year if the target is protected from scrying.
Distance General Location Viewing Time
100+ miles building/structure ten minutes
1000+ miles town/land feature one minute
10,000+ miles country/region ten seconds
extra-planar plane/sphere one second
