A scrying engine is any engine which causes or facilitates scrying.
The Patrick Device is an early prototype scrying engine. It set the standard for subsequent engines.
John Brunner owns a Lee and Turner color projector which has been extensively custom modified for use as a scrying engine. Brunner has called it "the best bloody tool I ever bought."
