Arcane Mark

1st-level divination (ritual)

Casting Time: 1 action

1 action Range: Touch

Touch Components: V, S

V, S Duration: Until dispelled or dismissed

Choose one creature or object. You establish a permanent link the subject in your mind, and leave your sigil or mark upon it. At your option, the mark may be invisible, but any creature that can cast spells can always see the mark. Note that an unwilling creature cannot have this mark placed upon it.

You can at any time spend an action to determine the general state of the subject regardless of how far away it is, as well as direction and general distance. If placed upon a castle gate, you will know the condition of the gate and the race of the last creature to have touched it. If placed upon a living creature, you know the creature's current mental state, whether it is injured, etc. You can dismiss a mark you have placed with an action regardless of distance.
