Scrying orbs are the most common variation of scrying devices in [[Innworld]]. They come in varying different sizes, as small as a marble{{ref|Interlude - Flos}}, and in differing shapes, such as scrying mirrors{{ref|5.39}} or scrying pools.{{ref|5.62}}{{ref|7.03}}

To begin scrying, one requires a [Mage], [Diviner], or [Seer]{{ref|6.53K}} capable of the [Scrying] spell, especially to link 
one scrying device to another for two-way communication or conferences.{{ref|6.53 K}} Communication conducted in this way can be spotty, due to magical interference or faded magic spells. Thanks to their rounded shape, scrying orb images may display a fish-eyed angle. Although orbs are much beloved, some scryers may prefer a mirror due to the inconvenient rounded shape of an orb.{{ref|4.47}} The visual provided by scrying orbs can be adjusted by adjusting the orb.{{ref|4.47}} [Mages] are capable of zooming in on the images projected to a scrying device.{{ref|7.13 K}}

Use of scrying is an insecure means of communication; scrying conversations are public and can be eavesdropped upon.{{ref|4.47}}

Scryings orbs, mirrors, and other hand-held scrying devices can be concealed from sight, with the [Scrying] spell intact and functioning, through the means of Skills.{{ref|7.03}}
