Description
:
This spell causes a reflective surface to serve as a scrying device for up to one hour as long as the sun is above the horizon — the caster must look at the sun in this reflective surface for the duration of the spell. The caster can only see things directly exposed to the rays of the sun. For example, if the caster is scrying a caravan crossing the sandy wastes, he could see the riders and wagons but not inside covered wagons. Now suppose the driver of the first wagon throws its tarp back, directly exposing 5 square feet of the cargo to the sun. Even though the entire inside of the wagon might be lit by diffused light, the caster could only see where the rays of the sun hit; he can not see anything that does not lay within that 5 square feet of direct sunlight. In all respects, the reflective surface behaves as a crystal ball, except the following. This spell can not be used when the caster is not in sunlight, and the chance of locating the subject is 0% when the subject is not exposed to the same sun that the caster is using (such as on another prime material plane). Viewing period and frequency limits apply across all surfaces the caster uses. Thus, given a 75% chance of finding the subject, the caster would have a 30 minute viewing period twice per day. If he used a mirror for two viewing periods and switched to polished steel for a third, he would risk insanity for exceeding his allotted frequency as detailed in the Dungeon Master's Guide. A priest in good standing with the powers of the elemental plane of fire will suffer no ill effects from this spell, and it will work normally. One who is not on good standing will suffer retinal damage automatically (no saving throw allowed), becoming blind, and the spell will fail. Since this latter effect burns the victims retina, a cure blindness spell will not restore his sight; rather, stronger magic must be used, such as a restoration or wish spell. The material components of this spell are the priest's holy symbol and any highly reflective surface (mirror, polished metal, clear water); neither are consumed. |
