5Components: V, S, DFCasting Time: 1 actionRange: 1 mile / levelTarget: One creatureDuration: 1 minute / levelSaving Throw: NoneSpell Resistance: NoBy holding a created object and casting this spell, you may sense the direction in which that object’s creator lies.  This functions as locate object in most respects, although it only serves to detect the single creature most responsible for the creation of the object (DM’s discretion).  In the case of an object with many makers, this will generally be the most skilled of them.  If the creator of the item is dead or out of range, or the object is actually a natural thing, then the spell fails.  The caster does not learn the specific cause of the spell’s failure in such a case.Focus: The created object.Arcane Material Components: 10 gp each of powdered silver and crushed rock crystal.Gift of ThothDivinationLevel: Wizard 6Components: V, S, M/DFCasting Time: 1 actionRange: PersonalTarget: YouDuration: InstantaneousSaving Throw: NoneSpell Resistance: NoYou gain an insight bonus equal to your caster level to a Knowledge ability of your choice.  This insight comes and goes in a flash, allowing time for but a single Knowledge check (on which you may not take 10 or 20).Arcane Material Component: A sapphire worth at least 100 gp.Issek’s Omniscient EyeDivinationLevel: Wizard 9Components: V, SCasting Time: 1 actionDuration: 1 hour / levelAs scrying, except for the changes noted above.  In addition, you may change the target of the scrying once per round.  Success or failure in attempting to view a target applies to all further attempts to view the same target during that casting of the omniscient eye.  The sole exception comes when a scrying attempt fails due to some form of anti-scrying magic or effect, in which case further attempts may succeed if the target loses the benefits of the anti-scrying effect between attempts.  All spells that can be cast through a scrying spell, plus true seeing, may be cast through the omniscient eye without chance of failure.Silvery Sentinel SigilDivination [Runic]Level: Wizard 3Components: V, S, MCasting Time: 1 roundRange: TouchTarget: One written workDuration: Permanent until readSaving Throw: NoneSpell Resistance: NoWhen you cast this spell, a tiny silver rune appears within the text of a written work, such as a book, map or bas-relief.  The rune vanishes when read, and transmits a mental image of the reader to you.  The rune functions at any distance so long as you remain on the same plane of existence.  If you are asleep at the time, you recall the image upon awakening.A silvery sentinel sigil blends into the surrounding text, making it impossible to spot through normal observation.  Detect magic shows only that the text as a whole is magical.  Dispel magic will remove the sigil, while an erase spell destroys the entire page of text.  The silvery sentinel sigil may be integrated with other text-affecting spells like illusory script and secret page.Material Component: The eye of a dog or 50 gp worth of crushed sapphire.Superior Teleport TrackingDivinationLevel: Wizard 6As teleport tracking, but you automatically succeed, without needing to make a Spellcraft check.  In addition, you can find the destination of any teleportation that took place within one hour per caster level, and you may consider the destination to be ‘very familiar’ if you have the means to teleport there.Teleport TrackingDivinationLevel: Wizard 4Components: V, S, MCasting Time: 1 minuteRange: TouchTarget: One 5-ft. squareDuration: InstantaneousSaving Throw: NoneSpell Resistance: NoWith this spell, you attempt to glean a glimpse of the destination of a recent teleportation spell or effect.  This includes any spell or effect with the Teleportation descriptor, including dimension door and teleport circle.  If someone has teleported away from the target area less than 1 minute ago per caster level, you may make a Spellcraft check with a DC of 10 + the level of the teleportation spell or effect.  A successful Spellcraft check shows you the destination of the teleport.  Consider the destination as ‘studied carefully’ if you attempt to teleport there.  (This assumes you have your own means of teleporting, as this spell does not grant you the ability to transport yourself in any way.)  If you fail on your Spellcraft check, you still learn whether or not someone teleported away from the area within the allotted timeframe, but you are unable to learn anything about their destination.  If you fail to determine the destination, another casting of teleport tracking will not give you any additional information.Material Components: A bent blade of grass and a crystal lens worth at least 10 gp.Trace EssenceDivinationLevel: Wizard 5Components: V, S, M / DFCasting Time: 1 actionRange: TouchTarget: One bodyDuration: InstantaneousSaving Throw: Will negates (object)Spell Resistance: Yes (object)You may cast this spell upon a living or dead body to determine the current location of the target’s soul.  If the soul dwells on another plane, either because the target has died or as a result of such magics as astral projection, you learn only the name of the plane.  If the soul exists elsewhere on your current plane, as is possible through such magics as the magic jar spell or a lich’s transfer of its soul to a phylactery, you learn the direction and distance to the soul’s current vessel, and gain a momentary vision of that vessel and of its immediate environment within a 10-foot radius.  If the target’s soul remains in its body, you learn this as well.Trace essence detects only the proper soul that belongs in the target body.  As a result, if an alien soul currently possesses the target body, this spell provides the location of the true soul instead.  To cast this spell on an unwilling creature, you must make a successful melee touch attack and the target gets a Will save to resist the spell’s effects.Arcane Material Component: 10 gp worth of crushed obsidian.</blockquote>
