Scrying is a powerful divination spell that allows the caster to monitor a creature or area with minimal concentration. The spell provides a 360-degree view, as well as the ability to hear and smell within the observed area. Additionally, the caster can use other spells like Arcane Sight and Detect Magic through the Scrying effect, depending on the level of the spell.
If the target creature successfully saves against Scrying (Will Save), it becomes immune to further attempts for 24 hours.
