Floron's Fabulous Mirror

What's it called? Floron's Fabulous Mirror (nicknamed FFM)

What does it do? We continue with scrying, as Floron's is the spell for spying other people, and the scrying method used by wizards (other have longsight and maybe some items, direct or indirect, like crystal brooches). A casting of this spell over any player (and many npc's) will allow you to see him and his room surroundings at a glance.

Where is it? As would be asumed, the spell is hidden in the Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Everything grimoire, at the Unseen University Library.

What does it require?: Aside from a target to scry, some sort of mirror. It isn't consumed in the process.

What skills do I require?: Channeling, Divining, Scrying

Has it worked?: A good output should read something like this:

You prepare to cast Floron's Fabulous Mirror on xxx (target)
You concentrate on the mirror, pushing your mind into it.
You think about finding things out.
You wave your hands over the mirror.
The silver mirror seems to urge you to gaze into it.

Help Information:

Floron's Fabulous Mirror - View a target.

Floron's Fabulous Mirror is a zeroth order spell which allows you to see a snapshot view of any creature or person on the Disc. It requires a mirror to cast.

Notes:

After gazing into the mirror (something which requires, I think, another spellcheck -on scrying, against the target's resistance-), you may either succeed and see the room and person, or get one of the following messages:

1) You failed the spell:

Your reflection in the mirror suddenly turns strange...

2) The person you want to scry is net-dead at the moment:
The mirrored timepiece glazes over, displaying a matte white surface, before going back to reflective.

3) The person you want to scry is a Pk, and you are not:

Your mind finds xxx in a haze of smoke and mirrors. (before the gazing) The mirrored timepiece seems to urge you to gaze into it.
You merely see your own reflection in the mirrored timepiece.

4) The person is an unscryable npc/creator/protected by Kipperwald's spell, or his faith skills have succeeded in the end. One of these two:

The mirrored timepiece clouds, turns black, and then goes back to reflective.

The mirrored timepiece goes cloudy, then returns to normal suddenly, looking somehow offended.

5) You are attempting to scry a generic, non-specific npc:

The mirrored timepiece goes cloudy, then displays a complex fractal pattern. Within this pattern, you can see a myriad of xxxs going about their business
