Lesser Scrying
Make a Ritual Casting check [DC 25] to determine whether the scrying succeeds. Gain bonuses to your check according to your familiarity with the target and what (if any) processions you have of the target's, according the the chart below. If you succeed the check, you are able to see (but not hear) a vision of the target and its immediate surroundings (approximately 25 ft diameter area) within the pool of water. You are able to perceive the target as you could with your normal senses (i.e. if you have Darkvision, you can see as such through the scry). While you can see the target, you cannot affect it in any other way through the scrying effect.
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 they remain on the same plane as you and 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. The ritual automatically fails if the target is located on another plane.
