Help with Name/Description Required please
Hi,
Now this is one thing that is annoying me - for some reason i cannot think of a suitable name for an item in my story. At present it is called something rather boring.
A bit of background - in my fictional book I have my 'baddie' looking into a mystical instument that can show him pieces of information such as brief conversations/pictures. The baddie is somewhere in the realm of Fae/Greek God type. Currently I am calling it a 'Viewing Urn' however it would be rather crap to keep it as such so I would be really grateful if you guys could please have a go at finding something more suitable.
Many thanks in advance!
A

The term for those is really scrying-glass, -disk, -ball, or -basin. Or you can call it a farseer. Really, whatever.
