  • Scrying is the art of seeing things that are happening somewhere else. Dr. John Dee said he prefers to use pure water but that any kind of liquid would work. In The Sorceress, William Shakespeare and Nicholas Flamel turned the small crystals in a computer monitor to liquid crystal and used that to scry on Perenelle while she was on Alcatraz island. Also, in The Sorceress, Billy the Kid scrys on Perenelle while she was on Alcatraz via an ancient antique Anasazi pottery bowl and a thick liquid that was a mixture of honey, flaxseed oil, and water.

  • Scrying is a magical practice that involves seeing things in a medium to obtain knowledge of things that are happening, past events or the future.

Anyway, seers have a natural talent for scrying and can easily see things with their powers. There are many different ways to perform this, depending on the nature of the medium.

  • Scrying is a rare and difficult form of magic where a person can see and hear things through magic. It can be learned academically (such as the case with Niko) or it can be ambient. Like other ambient magics if it is undiscovered it is dangerous, but instead a regular lack of control it makes a person appear to be crazy. Scrying seems to be an ability which can be learned by most mages, although they don't all have the same success with it. Daja Kisubo manages to make a mirror to scry for Nia's and Jory's powers, although she didn't have much success with scrying when Niko taught all of them.
  • All one has to do is hold the crystal pendant over a map of the area where it is thought the lost person or object will be. The more violent and vigorous the swing of the pendant, the closer you are to the object on the map coordinates, like a "warm or cold" method of looking for something i.e. the more vigorous the swings the "warmer" one is. The pendant will eventually pinpoint the exact location of the object or person by pulling down on to a spot on the map after a certain amount of time.
  • Scrying is the act of using a stone on crystal to see into the past or future. In EQ2, scrying involves using a stone at a special location to reveal what might hidden there. Specifically, scrying involves finding a ring of rainbow lights (similar to the picture shown here), examing a scrying stone while standing very near those lights, and waiting for your result. Scrying, the stones and all, have been in the game since very close to the beginning of the game. The lore article here The Scrying Stones and the SoE article date back to January of 2005, only few months after launch.

  • All one has to do is hold the crystal pendant over a map of the area where it is thought the lost person or object will be. The more violent and vigorous the swing of the pendant, the closer you are to the object on the map coordinates, like a "warm or cold" method of looking for something i.e. the more vigorous the swings the "warmer" one is. The pendant will eventually pinpoint the exact location of the object or person by pulling down on to a spot on the map after a certain amount of time. For a scry to pinpoint the exact location of something, usually an item of that person or demon is needed, such as clothes or blood. Piper used the eyes of a snake to scry for Saleel, a reptile demon, so it is assumed that the object can also be related to the thing you are scrying for. Scrying is one of the four basic powers a witch/warlock has. Elders can also use this power. Amethyst is said to work best as the most powerful scrying substance. (This is probably taken from the real life idea that amethyst is a substance that can heavily augment one's psychic abilities, or, in this case, magical abilities.)
