Guidelines for Information Gathered 

• The spell grants general direction and distance of some thing. ie. Compass point or "ahead left", etc. Distance is near (within 1 mile) or far (farther than 1 mile). General understanding of number or amount is known: One, Few (less than 10), Multitude (ten to a hundred), and Many (more than 100).

• Each round, the caster can specify 1 thing to gain knowledge of. Examples are: A type of plant. A type of creature (this can be general or specific to a sub-type but not to an individual level). A type of mineral. 

• Otherwise, a round may be used to understand the terrain in a given direction (quadrant) which includes presence of bodies of water (and type, stream, river, pool, lake, etc.). Terrain features, hills, mountains, forests, plains, canyons, rifts, etc. are given but with the limitations on distance as per above.

• Structures can be noted (using 1 round) but information gleaned is only related to size and general number: Small (a hut or house), Medium (an encampment, hamlet, or fort), or Large (town, city, or castle). 

• The presence of cave entrances can be noted but with the limitations on knowledge as per above regarding distance and numbers. Size is given as the largest opening: Small (10-ft.), Medium (10-30-ft.), or Large (greater than 30-ft.). Caves existing underground without an exposed opening cannot be detected. A cave entrance covered by a structure cannot be detected.

• There are no limits on the number of times this spell can be used in the same or overlapping locales, although the specificity of the information remains as per above.
