	This simple divination ritual is similar to [[Clear Lens of the Eternal River]], but the information it provides is much more fundamental. Rather than unveiling historical information about the locale, it provides the caster (or casters) with reasonably precise information about their physical location at the time the magic is performed. For example, performed anywhere at [[Anvil]] it will generally provide the information that one is in the town of Anvil, the region of [[Casinea#Mareholm\|Mareholm]], in the territory of [[Casinea]].

	There are several challenges presented by the divination. Some locations have more than one name, especially if they lie on a border between two lands. The pass between the [[Skarsind#Skogei Glens\|Skogei Glens]] in [[Skarsind]] and [[Miekarova#Miechernya\|Miechernya]] in [[Varushka]] is called ''Wulfric's Fall'' by the [[Wintermark\|Winterfolk]], but ''Ustyma's Gate'' by the Varushkans. In this case the divination will usually provide only one of those names. A few cautious experiments have demonstrated that the magic seems to prioritize names that might in theory have been familiar to the caster even if they have never heard them before. Experimentation shows that it provides the names Imperial citizens have given to places rather than older names given them by original inhabitants, for example.

==Common Elements==
As with several similar rituals, ''Gralka's Guidance to the Lost Seeker'' requires a focus in the form of a piece of glass or crystal that is studied during the casting. Lenses, discs of crystal or glass, polished pieces of [[tempest jade]], and the like are all appropriate foci. There have also been a few successes using open flames through which the caster peers, or the still clear waters of pond or bowl.

Painting designs around the eyes, or on the brow, of the caster, are another way to focus the magic, as is the rune [[Sular]], which represents discovery. A [[dramaturgy|dramaturge]] might use a scene in which [[the Doctor]] lectures another character on geography, with the culmination of the play and the ritual being an explanation via dialogue of the exact location the action is taking place.

It might also be appropriate to invoke the symbolism of keen-eyed creatures such as hawks and eagles, wise [[Aspect_magic#Heraldic_Magic|heraldic creatures]] such as [[/Legendary_beasts#Sphinxes_and_Manticores|sphinx]], the imagery of spiders, geese, and squirrels, or the names of paragons and exemplars of [[Wisdom]], especially [[Kala]] who helped develop systems of measurement and had an innate connection to natural philosophy.
