Scrying engine

A scrying engine is any engine (nonfiction) which causes or facilitates scrying (nonfiction).

The Patrick Device

The Patrick Device is the first scrying engine invented, setting the standard for subsequent engines.

Hamangia scrying engines

The Hamangia culture invented a variety of primitive yet surprisingly powerful scrying engine techniques.

Hamangia figurines computing the Lorenz system. The computations are represented by the yellow lines, outside the vitrine. The colored lines on the figurines themselves result from the monitoring process.

Canterbury scrying engine

Canterbury Cathedral (nonfiction) has a built-in scrying engine which is reliable for simple calculations across a wide range of time and space.

Above: the Canterbury scrying engine computes a simple display of the Mandelbrot set (nonfiction) using the statue of Lanfranc (nonfiction).

The Rosenwald sheets

The Rosenwald sheets function as rudimentary scrying engine, apparently providing a matrix (nonfiction) for scrying routines.

Gnomon Algorithm

Scrying engines are assumed to use some form of the Gnomon Algorithm for energy, control, etc.
