What is the significance of the 'scrying mirror' in Adam Ringham's narrative?

In my narrative, the scrying mirror is less about “magic glass” and more about radical self-honesty and perception.

It represents a tool that forces you to face your own reflection: your programming, shadows, patterns, and potential. Instead of passively consuming “shiny objects” and groupthink, the mirror asks: What are you really seeing, and who taught you to see it that way?

So its significance is:

1. A symbol of inner work over external distraction
2. A gateway from illusion (fear, programming) to clarity and responsibility
3. A reminder that the “occult technology of power” can be turned inward to free yourself, not just used against you

Is there a particular scene or quote with the scrying mirror that you’re thinking of?
