	'''Scrying water''' is a spell that transforms the reflective surface of a basin of water into a conduit for distant sight and sound, functioning in a manner akin to a crystal ball.

-Others may also see what's depicted by the water's surface, but only if they are of the same religion as the caster.
+While the caster alone dictates the subject of the scrying, others may also view the vision upon the water's surface — but only if they share the same religion as the caster. Those outside this faith see nothing but still, ordinary water, their presence having no influence on the spell's effect.

+If those within the scene move beyond this range, they are lost from sight, though their voices may still be heard if they remain within the 30-foot auditory range. The image upon the water remains stable, unaffected by minor disturbances such as breath or faint ripples, but strong vibrations, such as an earthquake or the destruction of the physical vessel are likely to shatter the vision and end the spell prematurely.
