Astral Projection
Astral Projection is a Level 1 Evocation that 
1 mages can cast for 2
, allowing them to Scry.
It's more-often-than-not worse than Astral Window, because it has the same vulnerability as Mind Hunt; every turn, Astral mages in the province have a chance to identify the astral projection's silvery cord and cut it, Feebleminding the caster. This abruptly ends the Scrying for that month.
- 1's have a 40% chance to spot you.
- 2's have an 80% chance to spot you.
- 3's and higher-level Astral Mages will spot you.
So why use it?
- It requires less Research; so, for example, you can peek at your neighbors' progress earlier.
- It has lower path requirements than the other Scrying spells, which require
2 or 2.- If you notice the name of a non-Astral nation on the map early on, this can help you cheaply check for Astral Pretenders.
- It's exactly 1 cheaper than Astral Window.
- It works underwater, unlike Scrying Pool.
- Its reach is exactly one province further than Astral Window, and two provinces further than Scrying Pool.
