No exception is made for Scry. To be sure, there wouldn't be many occasions where you'd want to use Scry at sensory range (maybe to see around a corner, to listen in on a whispered conversation from across a room, or to look down at yourself for some reason?) but that's how it works.Agnasci feels the hungry presence of Paradox yet again. He braces himself and hopes it passes.[sblock=Paradox roll]Roll: 1 base + 1 successive vulgar magic = Failure with 0 successesThere is no Paradox[/sblock][sblock=Spell: Scry]Roll: Gnosis 1 + Space 2 + 3 Willpower - Sympathy Penalty 4 = Success with 1 successAgnasci successfully opens a scrying window in the bookstore.

He exhales and when he opens his eyes a moment later he's in the shop. At least - in a manner of speaking. He's looking down into the room as if peering through a surveillance camera. He can turn and pan to a limited extent but has a feeling that he'd be unable to wander too far from his point of arrival. All his senses are engaged: He can see the room, smell it, hear it, and even feel the objects within it as his view rolls beside an isle of shelves. Faye is behind the counter, reading as usual. Chance, Harper, and Law are on the other side of the counter taking turns examining a pair of sunglasses. His sunglasses. Maybe they're already looking for him!Chance, Harper, and LawThe three mages feel the tingle of magic. They're each likely to just assume it's one of the others casting a spell while examining Agnasci's shades. All of them cast unannounced spells quite frequently.</blockquote>
