Wilfred's Whereabouts Whispers

1st-level divination

Upon casting Wilfred's Whereabouts Whispers, you focus on locating a non-magical item that you own but have misplaced. The item must be within your current dwelling or the building you are in, and it cannot be in the possession of another person. When cast, the spell causes the lost item to emit a gentle, glowing yellow aura, making it easily visible to you, even if it is obscured or hidden under or within objects.

The glow is only visible to you and does not alert others to the item's location. The spell is limited to items that are typically small and easily misplaced, such as keys, books, tools, or personal accessories.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the duration of the spell increases by 10 minutes for each slot level above 1st.

Lore:

Wilfred's Whereabouts Whispers was created by a somewhat absent-minded but brilliant wizard named Wilfred Willowwisp. Wilfred often found himself misplacing small but essential items around his extensive library and workshop. Frustrated by the time wasted searching for these items, he developed a spell to quickly and efficiently locate them.

Wilfred ensured that the spell respected the privacy and property of others by limiting its use to items not in the possession of anyone else. He also wanted the spell to be practical and useful in everyday life, hence its simple nature and easy casting.

The spell gained popularity among scholars, artisans, and adventurers who appreciated its utility in keeping track of their important, albeit often misplaced, belongings. Wilfred's Whereabouts Whispers is remembered as a testament to Wilfred's practical approach to magic, serving as a reminder that sometimes the most straightforward solutions are the most effective.
