The mage must possess a device for scrying, this device could be a mirror, a crystal ball, or even a calm pool. The device must produce a clear reflection. When the mage casts the spell the device shimmers and then displays the scene the mage wishes to see. Anyone else looking into the device also sees the scene it reveals. Scrying eyes produces visual information only. The mage can only see what is obvious. Others observing the mirror may use find or other skills to analyze visual information. Their skill totals are capped at 25, which is the effect value of the spell.
