Effect The caster divines the shortest and most direct route to a destination. This destination may be a particular location known only by name or description, a person such as an ally or enemy, or a need such as "a place of refuge". When casting this spell to find an enemy or magically hidden locations, the target gets a Mental Resistance roll. After casting this spell the caster can see a golden path leading them to the destination in the most effective way possible. Nobody else can see the path, but as long as the caster follows it, the way is traversed with ease. Tough terrain smooths to provide easy passage, plants move of their own accord, and shallow water pools out of the way. While traveling the Golden Road, the caster and their allies get a +Rank bonus to Speed, ignore penalties for difficult terrain, and get +Rank bonuses on Survival checks. The caster will always have an instinct for how long the road is to their destination, which can give insight into the movements of an enemy.
