Crimson Compass

Wondrous item, uncommon

As a Magic action, you can insert a drop of blood into the face of this compass, which orients itself as a needle. The needle points to the creature to whom the blood belongs if it is alive and on the same plane of existence. Otherwise, the needle swings wildly. The compass can’t locate a creature under the effects of the Nondetection spell. You can remove the blood from the compass as a Magic action.
