Monster: Gold Dragon
And here's the last of the metallic dragons and the most powerful one. Also, a Sorcery spell.
Seek Gems
Keywords: Information.
Full Cost: 21 points or 26 points.
Casting Roll: Per. Use IQ for
analysis.
Range: Unlimited.
Duration: Instantaneous.
After casting, the GM rolls against the
sorcerer’s Per, with a penalty based on the distance to the nearest gem. The
basic (21-point) version of this spell takes standard range penalties. The improved
(26-point) one uses long-distance modifiers. If successful, the caster knows the
exact distance and direction to the gem, and may make a follow-up IQ roll (at
no penalty) to learn basic details about it (e.g., “it’s a ruby” or “it’s a 24
carat diamond”).
Any known gems may be excluded if
the caster mentions them before casting.
Statistics:
Detect Gems (Precise, +100%; Selective Effect, +20%; Sorcery, -15%) [21]. The
improved version adds Long-Range 1 (+50%) [+5].
