The SendingStone review

Locate Object is a spell that allows the caster to locate a specific object within 1000 feet of their current location. It has a casting time of one action and requires vocal, somatic, and material components in the form of a forked twig. The spell also requires concentration for up to 10 minutes. It is available to several classes, including Bard, Cleric, Druid, Paladin, Ranger, and Wizard, at level 2.

Opinions on this spell may vary based on individual preferences and situations. Some may find it useful for locating lost or stolen items, while others may see it as a limited spell that has little practical use. However, for those who do find it useful, it can be a valuable tool for completing quests or retrieving important items. Its short casting time and range make it a convenient option for quickly locating objects. Overall, whether or not Locate Object is a worthwhile spell depends on the individual's specific needs and circumstances.
