Cadaver Compass

You hold the skull of a dead creature and attune your senses to the strongest place of personal significance in that creature’s life.

Choose one of the following anchors at the time of casting:

• Sanctuary (Where the creature felt safest)
  
  
• Purpose (Where it believed its life had meaning)
  
  
• Bond (A place tied to a powerful relationship)
  
  
• Fear (A place the creature actively avoided or dreaded)
  

For the duration, you are aware of the general direction of the chosen anchor relative to you, as well as whether you are getting closer or farther from it. The spell ends if the anchor is not on the same plane as the caster. Effects that prevent divination will block the results of this spell from reaching the caster.

When the spell is active the caster knows if;

• The anchor still exists, has been destroyed, or has been fundamentally altered.

• Once during the spell’s duration, you may focus for 1 minute to receive a brief, symbolic mental image related to the anchor (DM discretion).

The spell fails if the creature had no meaningful emotional connection to a place matching the chosen anchor.
