So, going through my copy of GURPS Magic, and I noticed the lack of an actual "long-distance scrying" spell, and I found it odd that GURPS Magic didn't allow for the classic trope of a Wizard to scry upon a distant location, save for using the Projection spell, or maintaining a Wizard Eye for an incredibly long time.

So one alternative I was using Teleport Other on a Wizard Eye, teleporting the sensor to a desired location (which, considering the object's lightness, would be at 1/2 cost), and manipulating the sensor from that location.

Would a conjured Eye be valid for such a casting?
