Back when he was in Thousand Masts City, Colin had tried using this magic to locate Gold Coins at the Black Tower out of curiosity. He was stopped and questioned by some of the Black Tower's Mages at the time, but he still managed to figure out the spell's specific effects.
Simply put, this magic could be set to track a specific number of Gold Coins within a certain range.
It could also locate a single, specially marked Gold Coin.
As he recited the Spell, a faint golden thread coiled around the tree branch.
But the thread quickly dissipated, turning into a few ephemeral golden specks of light.
The magic failed.
"There isn't a cache of five to fifty Gold Coins within three hundred meters of here. Are there any other places?" Colin asked.
"The tanner here did donate a lot of money not long ago. Hmm… the charcoal burners' place. Since the winter disaster isn't over yet, those guys are still working. It's possible they might attract a stray dog or two," Father John said.
