Locate object is a spell that uncovers the precise whereabouts of a known object within its effective range, even if the object is concealed within a sealed container, hidden behind a secret door, buried beneath the ground, or otherwise out of view. Therefore, the dweomer may allow the caster to retrieve an object that's been unintentionally misplaced or stolen by a nearby thief.

With regards to common objects, such as gold coins, pottery mugs, apparel, furniture, tools, weapons and the like, the spell with reveal up to dozen of the nearest of these in any location where it's cast. Potentially, in locating a dozen gold coins in a specific spot, it may be revealed that these are a part of a hoard hidden in a cache beneath the caster's feet.

Rare objects, however, must be familiar to the player in some way — through having heard of the object, or having gotten a description of the object before it's sought. In all cases, the spell will reveal only one kind of object, regardless of what's sought.
