Spirit Track
Spell, Low Magic, level 2
After a trance of at least ten minutes, the caster learns the direction of a particular creature, or whether it has passed through a given area; it does not work on undead, demons or devils.
From the book
After at least 10 minutes spent in a quiet trance, the caster learns one of two things: the exact direction in which a chosen creature or being can be found, or whether it has passed through a given 100x100 ft. area. Undead, demons and devils cannot be traced this way, and spells or devices that protect against spirit location defeat the divination.

A scene
The boy wandered off from the berry pickers somewhere in the foothills of the Tara Mountain Range, and night is coming. The shaman Birrani sits down on a flat rock, closes her eyes and says nothing at all for a long while, as the women wring their hands. When she finally opens them she lifts one finger and points east, into a gully nobody thought to search. They find him there after dark, asleep in a dry creek bed with a lizard on his chest, entirely unaware that anyone was worried.
