Greater Scrying
Make a Ritual Casting check [DC 35] to determine whether the scrying succeeds. Gain bonuses to your check according to your familiarity with the target and what (if any) possessions you have of the target's, according the the chart below. If you succeed the check, you are able to see and hear the target and its immediate surroundings (approximately 25 ft diameter area). You may optionally zoom in on the image, according to your will, to inspect objects as small as 1 square inch.
In addition to perceiving the target as you could with your normal senses (such as Darkvision), you may also utilize Powers, Rituals, and other abilities that augment your perception (such as Magic Sight, Detect Alignment, and Comprehend Languages). You are not otherwise able to affect the target in any way through the scry.
The target is unaware that they are being scryed upon, unless under the influence of a Detect Scrying Ritual or similar ability. The magical effect of the Scry is innately masked, but may be detected with an ability that can detect masked auras (such as the Reveal Magic ritual). You will continue to receive images of the target for the duration of the ritual, provided the ritual is not dispelled or disrupted.
If you fail the check, the ritual fails and you cannot attempt it again on the same target until the next Dawn or Dusk. If the target is on another plane, you suffer a -5 penalty to your check.
