So I've recently encountered a problem on my cleric with ESF Divination. In order to be able to scry I have to cast Clairuadience/Clairvoyance on myself first. But there's a problem with that. Clerics don't get that as a spell, unless they have the knowledge domain. Druids also cannot cast it either. From various D'n'D works and movies I have seen, divine casters are just as capable as scrying as arcane casters. And yet currently as a cleric without UMD I can only scry if I horde beholder eyes. So I propose two possible changes:
1. Casting Clairaudience/Clairvoyance is removed from scrying altogether. This makes sense anyway, since once you cast the spell and then use the -scry command it does use spell components and piety as though you casted a high level spell.
2. There is an alternative spell that divine casters can use to scry. True Seeing is a thematically appropriate one. Or perhaps True Seeing could just become the spell that everyone must use to scry, which would make sense since everyone can get it.
Personally I am leaning towards just removing the spellcasting requirement from scrying and having -scry be treated as it's own seperate spell not attached to anything else. I have been informed that no other epic spell command requires you to cast a regular spell before using it, so that's another reason to remove this requirement.
