This powerful spell allows a caster to know how many fires burn within the area of effect and the approximate location of each. He can choose any one of these fires and peer out of it as if he were actually within the flames. Anyone watching the fire sees a dark face peering out at them, but can dispel the visage only by extinguishing the flame or casting other protections from scrying.

The caster can communicate through the flames, but cannot cast spells or use special abilities without other magic that enables this.

The reverse of this spell, seal fire, protects all fires in range from being used in this way.

Notes: Uncommon for priests of the Dark Sun setting.
