Syntax: CAST SCRY
Create a scrying mirror with a handful of water, and reveal with the location of another. Specifying "map" following the target will additionally display a map of the target's room as if you has used the MAP command in that room.

Intended to allow people to figure out where in the Inner Sea/Sea of Despair/Catacombs/Mountains of Madness/Sea of Stars/Illwater Lake/Lake of Dreams/"insert area where all the rooms have the same name here" someone is. Abjure window would gain the same ability.

this would be absolutely awesome and useful.

make it cost 1 power to be a little bit fair, and sure, I like the idea
Fania2008-10-17 08:41:26
Wow, even more ways that can keep me from getting lost. I'm all for it!
Krackenor2008-10-17 14:13:45
Very nice idea...I like it! I also agree either an increased mana cost or 1 power if the map option is used
Noola2008-10-17 14:15:24
Yeah, a power cost for the added map thing, but it sounds like a nifty addition to me! thumup.gif

Pssh, I use scry WAY too much for it to have a power cost, as I'd probebly be using the map thing, too tongue.gif, make it more mana instead, so it's on par (In a way) with farscout or something? Also, if this was implemented, would it make sense to give the aethersight line a slightly differant thing for if they use a map? To let them know that they know where you are, including the area and all that.

How did I miss this thread...

NO! Hiding in lakes and such where the rooms are all named the same is how I escape most threats!
Stop whining about this stuff already, it's been ignored or rejected numerous times.

Griefer.

Not sure I like this idea as a general ability, though maybe for an artifact.
