While casting this spell, you touch a wound on a creature or corpse. If the wound was inflicted by an object, such as a weapon, you know exactly what the specific item looks like for the purposes of spells like locate object . For the duration of the spell you also know the object’s general direction and its current trajectory if it’s traveling.

The spell fails if the wound was inflicted by a creature’s natural weapons, such as fists or claws, or by a spell. The spell also fails if the wound was inflicted more than 3 days ago. If the weapon is more than 5 miles away, has been destroyed, or if there is any thickness of lead in the direct path between you and the object, the spell is unable to provide its direction.
