Basically an object that always comes in pair (call them A and B), where A is used to scry on B, but not vice-versa.
Might be permanent or trigger on a command word spoken by B (not by A!).
When functioning, A will be informed of B's location, and have a brief vision of the context (i.e. B is being attacked and needs help)
Owner of B does not need to know how it works - the object works regardless as long as you keep B in your possession. This is very important as this object is also meant for spying purposes.
If there is a command word, it is enough to activate the item.
The lesser the cost the better, so it would really be fine 1/day or even 1/week, or even discharged after 10 uses - as I'd like to mass-produce them. Quantity > durability
Naturally, the arcane link can be used to track A back from B by a powerful enough caster, with all the associated risks.
Furthermore, if the owner of B is protected from scrying/divinations, the item stops working unless activated willingly

Closest I found was: "Stone, Missive"

Unfortunately it doesn't actually work as required, and the cost is too much for casually giving it to unaware people.
I will definitely speak with my GM to find a solution if no official ones happen to be available;
However, if you know any, it would be very helpful to know. So thank you in advance :smallsmile:
(btw, if you were a GM, how much wuold you charge for this?)
