As far as I know the telthukiilir has never been detailed fully in any sourcebook. It was first mentioned in Rich Bakers novel Forsaken House. However, reading the relevent pages of the book (p. 151-152) gives a quite decent picture of what the telthukiilir is capable of:
The telthukiilir is an extremely powerful version of a crystal ball. It it lit faintly from within, emanating emerald-colored light. By speaking a command word, the large orb can show the whereabouts of any individual. It is capable of scrying despite even powerful magical barriers, but its more powerful abilities drain some magic from the item itself, preventing multibale uses of it in short periods. After using it takes time for the telthukiilir to recover from this. Sarya Dlardrageth recovered a telthukiilir originating from Aryvandaar from the ruins of Nar Kerymhoarth.
As to what spell is behind this power: the only spell I know that does exactly what the telthukiilir enables the user to do is the 8th lvl wizard Spell: Discern Location
________________
Discern Location
Level: Clr 8, Knowledge 8, Sor/Wiz 8 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 10 minutes Range: Unlimited Target: One creature or object Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No
A discern location spell is among the most powerful means of locating creatures or objects. Nothing short of a mind blank spell or the direct intervention of a deity keeps you from learning the exact location of a single individual or object. Discern location circumvents normal means of protection from scrying or location. The spell reveals the name of the creature or object’s location (place, name, business name, building name, or the like), community, county (or similar political division), country, continent, and the plane of existence where the target lies.
To find a creature with the spell, you must have seen the creature or have some item that once belonged to it. To find an object, you must have touched it at least once.

There is no evidence given in the book that the telthukiilir has any other powers. |
