Lodestone

Always know magnetic north and orientation/depth.

Magnetic north, true orientation, and depth beneath a reference surface are always known without thought. Grants +2 to Wayfinding checks for the duration. Also senses the pull of any large ferrous mass within 30 ft -- a hull plate, a reactor casing, a ship's keel -- as a faint directional tug at the base of the skull.
