You Can Run . . . But Can You Hide? (Homebrew Tracking Spells)

A set of four spells designed to work together connected to a legacy of an elvish family of researchers who work for a deity of hunting and spy-work (plus 1 bonus spell False Tracks which frankly i think needs some rework). The strength of these spells is intended to be in how they can be used together and in their flexibility.

What I'm worried about is the wordyness, if anyone has some ideas on rewording or re-working please let me know.

Some examples of intended flexibility are Volnith's Familial Finding could be used in a planescape campaign to locate the nearest way to another plane of existence. Vita-Stasis Chamber could be used to drive an imprisoned (minimus containment) god into indefinite insanity. Multiple castings of Hound of House Verniern with some triangulation math on the player-side would allow for a cartographer to know the exact location of a creature anywhere on the same plane of existence regardless of the protections on them (so long as they have a thread of their clothes).

If made for a general audience just the centimeters or simplified inches would be better.

The idea is that this was originally a modification of the mending spell.

This is the bonus spell. The idea behind it is the caster is calling into effect a prearranged open contract with a powerful elemental who lends his minions, yet both the minions and the elemental do not have the spell caster's best interest at heart. The minions are resentful and would rather kill the caster if they step beyond the bounds of the contract and their lord or lady simply wants to gamble on overly ambitious mortals granting them their souls. I think it might be a bit to much unfortunately
