| Upon casting this spell, a pencil-thin beam of light will spring from the mage's palm and extend to the maximum range of the spell. The beacon travels through obstacles. It will pass right through a normal mirror although it can be reflected with a silver mirror. Small pulses of light travel from the caster down the length of the beacon so anyone seeing it may find the caster by traveling in the opposite direction that the pulses are moving. The color of the beacon is determined by the mage. |
