Describe or name a particular kind of object (such as a certain kind of apparel, jewelry, tool, or weapon) or particular kind of creature (such as a human or a unicorn). If a suitable target is within range of the spell, you sense the direction to the nearest creature or object within the spell’s range. If the target is moving, you know the direction of its movement.

This spell can’t locate a creature or object if it in is a different form, such as being under the effects of a polymorph spell, or if the target is shielded by an effect that blocks divination magic, like the nondetection spell.

You can only have a single casting of locate active on yourself at one time. If you cast this spell a second time, the first casting immediately ends.
