Occult Boon
Andromalius is a powerful outsider who offers Knowledge of the Location of Things in exchange for the deftness of your hands. He appears in the summoning circle as a faceless, emaciated man wrapped in a barbed serpent. On accepting the bargain, Andromalius will shake your hand, and the serpent will bite both of you, commingling your blood and sealing the pact.
If you touch an object as part of a ten minute ritual, you will instantly know the location of all other items of the same Essential Nature within 10 leagues of you. For example, touching a mundane shortsword will tell you the location of all mundane shortswords within 100 leagues of you, but not the location of mundane khopeshes, or magical shortswords.
If you hold a piece of an object, you will always know the precise location of all other pieces of it.
This boon comes at a price; from the moment the pact is sealed, your hands will become gnarled and numb. You will always be at disadvantage when making Dexterity-based rolls and skill checks that involve your hands: no aid nor beneficial circumstance can ever negate this disadvantage. This pact can only be broken by means of powerful magicks, or killing Andromalius himself.
