You hold out a gold rod while you focus your mind on finding nearby treasure. The rod pulls in your hands, pointing toward the most valuable concentration of wealth within a number of squares determined by your Arcana check result. You can reduce the range if you choose.
| Arcana Check Result | Maximum Range |
|---|---|
| 9 or lower | 10 squares |
| 10–19 | 20 squares |
| 20–29 | 50 squares |
| 30–39 | 100 squares |
| 40 or higher | 200 squares |
When you finish performing the ritual, you can command the rod to detect only valuables within certain categories: metals, gems, other (art objects, maps, ritual components, and so on), or any combination of the above.
Focus: A gold rod you use in the performance of the ritual.
