> Locate Self
Am I alone in picturing a large arrow dangling from a string, clearly marked "You are here", pointing unerringly at the caster? If the awards nominations are still open, I propose this one for the Uroxi Weather Stones Memorial Award commemorating magical light relief...
On a more serious note, I'm not sure I care for the "magical triangulation" idea. Making it too easy to navigate has a somewhat "anachronistic" feel, and it seem to presuppose that one can readily obtain two "compasses" which point to conveniently separated loci within the inner world (and a arbitrary third, either within or outwith same). Granted the precedent of Magastropic tin needles, and temple-locating magic, I'd still prefer to fudge the issue by making the first effect unique, and the latter one of too limited range and/or accuracy to allow reproduction of Ga-esque Positioning Systems type effects.
Good night, and good luck,
Alex.
