A palantir, or stone of far-seeing, is a crystal orb used to view images from a great distance. Once created, the palantir may be used to view a distant location:
use <palantir> <location>
For example, if a USE 9176 creates Palantir [6289], then one may view City of Drassa [cx61] with the palantir by issuing the order:
use 6289 cx61
Use of the palantir takes seven days. Any character may use the palantir; no magical abilities are required. A palantir has between 3 and 9 charges when created. Each use consumes one charge, and when the charges are used up, the palantir will no longer function.
