Find the Path (spell)

Find the Path

Range	touch
Duration	instantaneous
Area of Effect	10 mile distance
Casting Time	3 rounds
Saving Throw	none; see below
Level	cleric (6th)

Enables the recipient to instantly know — beyond question — the shortest, most direct route between two points as it exists at the moment the spell is cast.

If, for instance, an avalanche were to fall following the casting of the spell, the recipient would still believe that crossing the avalanche’s path was the safest route; but if the avalanche fell before the casting of the spell, the recipient would gain knowledge of a different route. Still, the original way of travel through doors, across bridges and so on would remain in the mind of the recipient — effectively permanently. Note that the spell does not indicate the safest route; only the shortest.

If the distance requested is more than 10 miles, the spell will reveal the path to the best possible "jumping off" place ten miles from wherever the spell was cast.

The reverse of the spell, lose the path, causes the recipient creature to completely forget how to return to a determined point (which the caster must provide). The creature is allowed a saving throw against magic.
