Missing and wanted individuals can be located with the chimes of finding spell. The spell does not work on inanimate objects. This complicated dweomer requires a set of wind chimes, a relatively detailed map of the area to be searched, a personal item of the desired being, and a still, windless day.

The caster spreads the map out and suspends a set of normal wind chimes above it; then passes the point of his or her finger over the map. When the chimes sound, the person's location is revealed. The better the map, the easier it is to eventually find the desired person.

The chimes work even if the person is dead; then, the chimes toll more slowly, sadly. A successful Wisdom check allows the caster to manipulate the sound for the benefit of any listeners.

Notes: Uncommon for priests from the Dark Sun setting.
