>"Regardless, it is kind of you to have done that much for us. Thank you. Can you show me how they work?"
>Patchouli nods. "There are two objects. First, an attuned lodestone." She takes out a small angular stone on a silver chain. "This is attuned to the signature of the energy in those fissures. It is similar in use to the seeking stone, although the principles that underpin its operation are rather different." She pauses. "Speaking of which, could you please return that, now that your use for it is finished?"
>"In any event, just hold it out like this, and it should angle towards the nearest reading. The degree to which it glows indicates proximity and strength."
>"The second is this." She places something that looks a little like a spellcard on the table. "This is a single-use enchantment dispelling invocation. Simply hold physically against the desired target and read the invocation. It is prepared such that a non-magician like yourself should be able to utilize it. Keep in mind that its effect on the sleeping magic may not be very strong, although it is also possible to use it for other purposes, should you find a suitable one."
