Similar to the wizard spells clairvoyance and wizard eye, the stone seeing spell enables the caster to scry whatever is within sight range of the locale chosen. Distance from the priest is not a factor, but, unlike the aforementioned wizards' spells, the selected locale must be entirely contained within solid rock.

Stone seeing enables the caster to see through the enveloping rock to a range of 100 yards per level of the caster or as far as the rock itself extends, whichever is less. The caster can see in only one direction at a time, but by turning his or her head, the caster can adjust the direction of the stone seeing in any direction desired. The spell enables the caster to “see” various veins and inclusions in solid rock, including creatures that can move through rock, such as xorn. The spell enables sight beyond the rock surface only as dwarves do; in other words, as if the caster was peering out from a cavern floor wall or ceiling.

The material components are the priest's holy symbol and a small stone chip of the type of rock on which the spell is centered.

Notes: Granted by the dwarven god Dumathoin.
