scryer
Reflective surface diviner
A scryer is someone who practices scrying—gazing into a reflective or translucent surface to perceive visions or hidden knowledge.
Crystal balls, mirrors, and bowls of water are traditional tools.
The word belongs to occult and fantasy contexts: The scryer peered into the dark pool, searching for answers.
