Gianluca devised this ritual in an attempt to keep tabs on Callum Pearson, a Malkavian companion of his with a tendency to wander off without warning. A simple circle is drawn on the floor with any substance and the Tremere begins to chant the five minute ritual. He then rolls Perception + Occult against a difficulty of 6. Each success equals an hour that the ritual will last. For the duration of the ritual, the Thaumaturgist will instinctively know the general direction of the members of his coterie, beginning with the one that is geographically closest. He will feel an urge to go in the direction indicated, although he is under no obligation to do so. This feeling is replaced with a feeling of stability when the Thaumaturgist moves to within 10 feet of the coterie member. When a member is located, the caster will then be able to feel the general location of the next member. This will continue until the ritual ends, or all members are located.
Note that this ritual will not allow the Thaumaturgist to see through Obfuscate or other magickal methods of concealment, nor will it allow the caster to see into other realms, such as the Umbra.
