  • Classes: Bard, Cleric, Druid, Paladin, Ranger, Wizard
  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: Self
  • Components: V, S, M (a magnet dipped in holy water)
  • Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
  • Replaces: Locate Animals or Plants

Describe or name a specific kind of beast or plant. It can be a specific creature known to you, or the nearest creature of a specific kind (such as a bear, oak, or horse), so long as you have seen such a creature within 30 feet at least once.

If one is within 1 mile, the material component of this spell points to it as if it were a compass. If the target is in motion, it points to it for as long as it remains in range. If the creature is in a different form, such as under the effect of the polymorph spell, this spell doesn’t locate the creature.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd-level or higher, the range and the type of creature you can locate increase as show in the table below:
