Wondrous Item, uncommon (requires attunement)
Mages often make these bracelets to keep track of each other as they often travel for their research. They allow them to be able to come together again to spend time with their companions.
While you and a creature you are familiar with are wearing these bracelets, you can speak a word to activate the item. Once activated, the arrow on the bracelet points in the direction of its partner and the wearer knows the approximate distance of their friend so long as they are on the same plane of existence. The bracelet cannot be forcibly removed while you are attuned to it.

This is Reginald, the self-proclaimed greatest bard of the realm! Reginald is a sentient fish who uses magic to travel around in his fish bowl. When he performs, he has bells placed above his bowl that he jumps out of the water to play, a truly excellent performance.
Reginald is not much of a fighter but he will do his best to support those around him if he does find himself in combat.
Never one to turn down a challenge, Reginald has participated and won many a bard battle. He has lost, but only a few times (according to him, he let them win).
Reginald is a fish, his memory isn't too great but that does mean that every performance is fresh!
