    I don't have the bricks with me right now, but I think the words for scrying translate to "dream stare". As we all know, the Ancient Language takes you literally. So why would the words for scrying be a metaphor for scrying? Wouldn't you have to say "show me where [blank] is and what she/he/it is doing"? It just doesn't make sense.
