You turn an ioun stone into a scrying sensor that sends you visual information.
The ioun stone travels at 30 feet per round (300 feet per minute) if viewing an area ahead as a human would (primarily looking at the floor) or 10 feet per round (100 feet per minute) if examining the ceiling and walls as well as well as the floor ahead. It sees exactly as you would see if you were there.
The stone can travel in any direction as long as the spell lasts. Solid barriers block its passage, but it can pass through a hole or space as small as 2 inches in diameter. The stone can enter another plane of existence, such as through a Gate or similar magical portal, but the caster loses contact with the sensor should this occur.
The enhanced ioun stone has AC 24, 10 hp, Hardness 5, Fly speed 30 (perfect), and a +16 Stealth bonus. The stone does not provide you with its normal benefits while you are using it as a scrying sensor.
You must concentrate to use a questing stone. If you do not concentrate, the stone is inert until you again concentrate.
