This spell conjures a smooth ring, visible only to the caster, which begins to crystallise at a rate according to the information used to focus it (the more information available, the faster the crystallisation), varying from 1 day to 1 week. The wayfinder portal tries to locate a target (place, thing, or person), identified by an image, location, scent, name, or magic pattern.
Once found, it can be looked at through the ring or the ring can be walked through to reach the target spot. However, the point of egress is normally not the spot watched, but some other place relatively nearby that is safe to the caster (thus the wizard might appear a day's walk away from the target or so). Also, it will not bring the caster into a private building or church which the caster has not been in before or been invited to enter into. Others cannot use the ring.
