Sense <animal> hearth magic

[_Gunnar]

An important part of hunting is looking for signs of recent animal activity and following these to the animal's current location.

It would be nice if we could somehow sense whether there was a nearby animal of a particular type (e.g. for stuff like making a batch of a particular type of sausage, or things like a "Put an arrow in an <animal>" quest)

My idea is a hearth magic spell which for some amount of time (~30mins?) adds an arrow towards an <animal> if it is within a certain distance (perhaps with precision based on per*exp)

The price in Experience points should depend on the type of animal you're requesting, I suppose.

As far as I understand the way the game works, I think this would only be able to sense the 3x3 grid of minimaps loaded around the character, but that still multiplies the sensed area by a factor of 9.
