Mark of Custody

Level 1 Abjuration ()

Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a point of lead white, which the spell consumes)
Duration: 30 days

You set an invisible mark upon an object you touch that is Large or smaller and that is not worn or carried by an unwilling creature. For the duration you know, whenever you turn your mind to the object, whether it stands at rest or is in motion, and if in motion, the compass direction of its travel.

While you are within 1 mile of the object you know also the direction to it and the distance to the nearest ten feet, through wall, water, lead, and fog. You know the hour at which it passes out of the possession of one creature and into the possession of another. You learn the name of neither, and you do not know where the thing stands when it lies still and you are more than a mile from it, which is the condition of most goods for most of their lives.

Casting the spell again upon the same object renews the duration. The mark can be seen for what it is by a creature that casts detect magic upon the object, and shows then as a small figure in lead white, low down and turned inward, of the kind a dealer paints beneath a thing he means to know again.

Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot

You may mark one further object for each spell slot level above 1, each object touched in the same casting.
