[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 3293758, member: 2011"] Except that the magical sensor follows the subject. I think the intent of "lead sheeting" (a blatant 1E rip off of X-ray vision cannot penetrate lead) is again to protect when the Scrying spell is cast, not afterwards. Take for example the rest of the text on that page: The magical sensor is specified as an extra sensory organ. Like having a floating eye. Then, it states that antimagic field blocks it. It is reasonable that antimagic field blocks it: 1) when the spell is cast and 2) if the sensor goes into the AMF. It is not very reasonable that the antimagic field blocks it if it is outside the AMF when the AMF is cast. If it gives one the same powers of sensory acuity normally possessed, how does AMF stop it when AMF does not prevent sight? That would be a lower level of sensory acuity. The divination portion of the spell once successfully cast is to see from that location. Hence, the reason I think these protections were originally set up with "at casting time" as the intent. However, I can easily see how "once it is cast" can be read into it. Btw, the Scrying spell itself disagrees with the text here in that Detect spells do have a chance of working through it. [/QUOTE]
