With such a long duration, you could overhear a villain's plans for the day (Villain: "So, you will attack the heroes here, here and get a report from their baggage handler, etc"; PCs: "Oh, we have a spy!") -- this could probably be fixed by a better DM than myself, but I don't like "expert DM only" spells, at least those that don't have good adivce.Also, it broke teleport (or maybe it was the other way around) due to scry-buff-porting. Not that the latter is a big issue in 4e.The durations are probably too short, but without some really good advice on how to keep Scry a reasonable ritual, I don't think WotC would dare to make them longer. I think they should have just left the ritual out of the rules until they could write some really good advice on them.</blockquote>
