Level: Third                  Range: Special
Components: V, S, M           Duration: 1d4 rnds + 1 rnd/lvl
Casting Time: 3               Area of Effect: 20' Radius

With this spell, the caster is able to illuminate the tracks of
any creature of which he has a some item that was previously in
contact with the creature not longer ago than a number of turns
equal to the caster's level. The item could be anything from a
shirt to a scrap of hair or a drop of blood. The tracks are only
visible to the caster, and only tracks upon a solid surface
within the area of effect (which moves with the caster) are
visible. Tracks through air or water are not visible, however, if
the caster is able to reach the spot where the trail continues,
the caster may resume tracking.

It is up to the caster to determine which direction leads to the
most recent tracks (i.e. which are coming and which are going),
although the spell does illuminate a "footprint" of the being
which is being tracked. The spell will allow the caster to track
the being if it climbed walls, and even if it tried to obscure
its path, by throwing dirt over it. Objects over 3" thick
covering the path, however, do obscure it.

The material component of the spell is something which had been
in contact with the creature to be tracked, up to the caster's
level in turns previously. Once the spell is cast, the caster
need not carry the item with him.
