Scryer or Scrier?

[Knightfall]

I have an ood question. What do you call someone who "scrys" for a living (besides wizard)? As in a court scryer?

Would you spell it scryer or scrier? Or would you simply say diviner?

But then again, the scrying spell is limited to diviners, so what would be a more general name for a court scryer that works for a king or queen?

Cheers!

Scry is an abbreviated form of descry, and the one who descries is a descrier. So scrier is the correct spelling.

I usually use 'seer' or 'Court Seer.'

I like that one.

"Seer" is what I would use. Though "Soothsayer" works too.
