By means of this spell, the wizard immediately becomes aware of any attempt to observe him by means of clairvoyance, clairaudience, magic mirror, telepathy, wizard eye and similar spells. The spell also reveals the use of crystal balls or other magical scrying devices, provided the attempt is within the area of effect of the spell. Since the spell is centered on the spellcaster, it moves with him, enabling him to "sweep" areas for the duration of the spell. The area of effect is a (rank x 5) foot radius area.
When a scrying attempt is detected, the scryer must immediately roll a saving throw. If this is failed, the identity and general location of the scryer immediately become known to the wizard who cast this spell. The general location is a direction and significant landmark close to the scryer. Thus, the caster might learn, "The wizard Sniggel spies on us from east, under the stairs," or, "You are watched by Asquil in the city of Samarquol." If the caster of this spell is rank 21, the save is made at -15. At rank 22, this goes to -30.
The spell lasts for 15 minutes per rank. |
