	'''Scrying orbs''' or '''scrying mirrors''' refer to a type of magical [[Artifact]] that display surveillance of a remote location within their reflective surfaces. Alternatively, they can be used to remotely project an image to other scrying-receptive devices, provided at least one capable [Mage] is available or the device's enchantments enable for scrying without a spell being cast.
