This article is about a traditional Britannian spell. For the runic spell, see Locate (Underworld).
Locate is a spell that performs the same role as a sextant and divines the location of the caster in the world.
Spell Description[edit]
Casting the spell reveals the mage’s longitude and latitude in Britannia just as a sextant would. Unlike a sextant, the spell is also effective underground. However, this spell needs the rare and expensive nightshade; a deficiency from which a sextant does not suffer.
Lore[edit]
“ | In Wis performs the job of a navigator, determining one’s precise location in terms of the recently devised concepts of latitude and longitude. Nightshade is its only ingredient, but that nightshade must be encased in glass and kept alive with dew drops until its use is required. – from The Book of Lore (Ultima V)

“ | This spell reveals the sextant position of the mage, even when underground. – from The Book of Fellowship (Ultima VII)

“ | This spell identifies the area occupied by the caster when the spell is cast. |

Trivia[edit]
- The spell also appears in the SNES-port of Ultima VII. In it, the spell not only shows the current location, but also all the various locations on a map of Britannia, as seen in the gallery. The same interface is used for teleportation and boat travel.
