Spell description

By means of this spell, the enchantress changes a normal mirror into a special scrying device. She also enchants a glyph (which is often a pair of eyes or her personal sigil) on an item. From that point forward, the mirror and the glyph are linked. Whenever a creature (of Medium of larger size, of In 8 or greater, or a humanoid--the caster selects a trigger when she prepares the sigil) looks at the sigil, the caster is made aware of it by mental message. At that time, the caster may look through the mirror and see as if looking through the sigil, similar to a crystal ball. This effect lasts 1 round/level of the caster (determined at the time the sigil was prepared). No spells may be cast through the mirror.

Some creatures may detect the scrying (the sigil occasionally blinks) as per the listin under Crystal Ball.

Enchanting the mirror and preparing the sigil require two seperate castings of this spell. Enchanting the mirror requires a mirror of no less than 1000gp value, an eye of roc, a bit of nitric acid, copper, and zinc. The mirror is not consumed in the casting, but the other components are. The mirror will remain enchanted for 1 month per level of the caster. The casting time to enchant the mirror is one hour.

Preparing the sigil requires a gold or silver powder (50 gp value). The symbol is etched or carved into stone, metal, leather, or any suitable, hard object. The powder must be applied to the mirror, then to the sigil. The sigil's duration is permanent until it is discharged.

A sigil can be prepared again after it is activated, but the mirror cannot be reenchanted. When the duration expires, the mirror cracks. As many as five sigils may be linked to one mirror, but the caster is not alerted to which of her sigils is activated, but may discern it from seeing the surroundings of the sigil.
