Normally 5 minutes per ritual level; apply any individual exception described in the effect.

Effect

Place a small magnet or iron-ore pebble in a silver bowl with a liter (about 0.26 US gal) of blood from any source. Add the caster’s blood and perform the hour-long working on each of three nights. The ritual uses the standard Rouse Check; make its Intelligence + Blood Sorcery test at Difficulty 2 at the end of the third night. On success, the caster can sense the stone’s direction and distance until it is destroyed or one week passes. At most Resolve stones can be maintained and tracked at once.
