Scrying (aka "praxis metaskopia") is the method used to divine a being's location in the world, whether it is an NPC or another incarnos.
- You need `stare' at an object to focus your scrying. Common objects include crystal spheres, mirrors and flames. You can easily purchase a sphere from Luc's, or find them littered near Discordia.
- After you have focused your attention, you need concentration to fall into a trance. The higher your skill, the better your ability to enter very deep trances.
- Once you have fallen into a trance, you need imagination to `imagine' the being you are trying to scry.
- You start off either almost falling into a trance or falling into a light trance.
- You will then feel yourself sinking deeper into a light trance.
- You will then feel yourself sinking into a medium trance.
- At this point, scrying works most of the time.
- Beware that you may slip out of your trance if you are not practiced (in what? Not sure.) enough.
TODO:
- Document how different objects affect scrying.
- Document how trance level (light, moderate, deep, etc.) affects scrying.
- Document what determines distance and/or accuracy of the scry.
Insomniac's Note As a Sparrow bonded Coven I've eventually gotten to scry with coordinates. It took 3 specs in Orienteering (Roughly around 130 orienteering) to get general coordinates. Around 150 I got more accurate. Granted Sparrow bonds are easy at raising the Divination skill and get a few bonus points into it. Although with less orienteering a seer seemed to be more accurate.
