Servant of Infallible Location

Cost: 15 motes
Target: One conjured creature

Combining the Prayer for Guidance with the Flutter- Wing Mudra, the sorcerer shapes her Essence into a small sparrow of blue flame. The sparrow can find any item, person or place the sorcerer has previously encountered or to which she bears an arcane link. She may also name anything she wants to find, as long as it is within 500 yards and objectively definable: "The nearest man" or "the exit from this maze" is sufficient. "My closest ally" or "a safe place" is not.

The sparrow locates unhidden or mundanely concealed things automatically. Moreover, it is a supernatural tracker with a tracking dice pool of equal to the sorcerer's (Wits + Occult + Essence). The sparrow does not speak or sing, and it cannot travel farther than a few yards from the sorcerer. It tends to fly back and forth to the limits of its reach. The more excited and frantic the little bird's fluttering becomes, the nearer the target lies. The sparrow lasts until the sorcerer finds her target, dismisses the bird or dies. The sparrow is just a puff of shaped Essence, so it neither attacks nor takes damage if it is attacked.
