I honestly did research about scrying (Complete Arcane etc.) but I'm still a bit confused about this irritating spell which certainly does confuse many DMs out there. So here we go:
Scenario: A human disguised as half-orc comes and vandalizes a temple during a night. The next morning the high priest casts scrying in order to solve the identity of the vandal.
Question: Which of these "questions"* fail when using scrying?
1. "I want to scry the person who vandalized my temple! I have no idea who it was... Maybe there were several perpetrators."
2. "I want to scry that disguised creature who vandalizes my temple!"
3. "I want to scry the half-orc who vandalizes my temple last night!"
4. "I want to scry Bibbo the half-orc who vandalizes my temple last night!" (mistaken identity)
5. "I want to scry the person sold thieves' tool to the vandal, because he broke into my temple and I want this kind of business to end!"
*Disclaimer: I know that you don't ask questions while using Scrying, but I didn't know any better way to word this ok?
