Notes

  • Requires Clear Vision to be active.
  • In addition to the direct effect of locating a player, this also creates a lingering effect in the room you located, the strength of which differs based on the success of your locate:
  • Partial success: The lingering effect can be backtraced by a skilled Moon Mage and acts as a room-based anchor for the Riftal Summons spell.
  • Full success: The same, plus the lingering effect enables the located player to be used as an anchor for Shift Moonbeam.
Success can be prevented by a target's use of Anti-Locate items.
