Scrollsee - Hishna

The scrollsee spell allows the caster to record the events occurring around him on a piece of parchment, and to have those events replayed as moving pictures some point in the future. The caster must have a plain sheet of papyrus, parchment, or smooth bark. As he casts the spell, he looks at the scene he wishes to record. The casting can continue for up to a turn, though it requires full concentration from the caster-he cannot move, though he can be transported in a smooth-traveling craft. Horseback riding, however, or a human-borne litter are too rough to allow sufficient concentration.

The picture can be replayed by a recasting of the same spell, by the same or a different caster. The image is lifelike, but its quality is affected by the material used for the spell. Also, the size of the image is about a foot square, so tiny details are indiscernible.

Notes: Restricted to practitioners of hishna magic (the Maztica setting); common.
