Discern north

By casting this spell as a cantrip, you immediately know which way is north.

By casting it as a ritual, the character will also know the approximate location, and how deep underground, above the ground, below see level above see level (whichever is applicable) she is, although no detailed information of the immediate surrounding area is provided.

The ritual can, for example, be used to find out the direction and distance to the nearest cities, large bodies of water, or other distinct landmarks, but not to the exit of the dungeon she is in.

The ritual requires additional material components like water, rocks and other small items to represent landmarks. If you want to include cities, you need a small item depicting a town or city worth at least 50 gp for each city you wish to know the direction and distance off.

These additional materials are not consumed in the casting.
