A scrying mirror allows the user to cast locate on an individual within or beyond the current realm. There are a few different versions of the scrying mirror that offer different levels of viewing and actionability.

For a 2-3 times a day Locate version:

a carved obsidian mirror with an inlay of diamond slivers

Show: The depthless black of the mirror's obsidian frame holds a gloss and shine unmatched but by the slivers of diamond that have been inlaid into the handle and along the edge.  Each minute piece glitters in ambient light, tiny winking stars against the velvet black of an evening sky.  The piece is near flawless with its umblemished mirror and pristine frame, though when turned just so, scrawls of crude etchings can be found to mar the back of the mirror, tangling the beauty of the piece in unknown mystery.
There appears to be something written on it.

In the Common language, it reads:
"The mind's eye, once opened, sees...so much...be wary of what you seek, for you may surely find it."

Analyze

For a 2-3 times a day Locate version:

You analyze your obsidian mirror and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
**************************************************************************
Scrying Mirror - YOU CANNOT ALTER THIS OBJECT

This is a scrying mirror.  You need to WHISPER MIRROR the name of the
person you want to scry on, and then GAZE into the mirror to activate it.
PEER will work as a normal mirror.  This item will work only if you have
thirty ranks of MIU, and if the target is cross-realm, sixty ranks of MIU
is required.  The item will work twice a day, for ten minutes if the target
 is not cross realm, three if the target is.

It is currently used up for the day and will not reset until 10/31/2019 20:24:27 CDT.
It is not currently scrying anyone.
**************************************************************************
You get no sense of whether or not the mirror may be further lightened.
