The ancient art of Dowsing allows the Psychic Sensitive to tune into the vibrations of hidden or lost things. Traditionally used to find hidden groundwater, the practice grew to find other resources, with Dowsing being employed to look for oils reserves or gold.
Items of great sentimental value shine like a beacon to this method of Divination, as well as hidden resources, such as caches of food/supplies, stores of groundwater, or similar. This time honored tradition requires a dowsing rod, either a forked stick or tuning fork, to function.
