Yefar, a mage of some renown a few ages past, had a small problem
with burglars and thieves. He didn’t mind them that much, since his
treasure was well-guarded, but since he was of the chaotic persuasion
he liked to point out the error of the thieves’ ways by creating petty (?)
inconveniences at the most inopportune times. In order for Yefar to
partake in this pleasure, he had to know the identity of the footpads, so
he created an innocent-looking mirror that recorded anything that
passed before it.

It is said that he died before creating the perfect Mirror of Memory,
and that he discarded many of the imperfect ones. But a legend tells that
the last mirror he made caused his death, for the mirror needed a very
great mnemonic capability, and Yefar, being quite senile in his old age,
contributed his own memory.

To determine the type of mirror found, use the following table
(All mirrors appear identical):

0 1-40 Type I, Mirror of Speed
41-75 Type II, Mirror of Confusion
76-90 Type III, Mirror of Memory
91-99 Type IV, Mirror of Allseeing
00 Yefar’s Great Mirror

Type I: This Mirror has a 60° field of vision, and plays back all that
passes before it at ten times normal speed. The picture is blurred and
hard to interpret. EP Value: 300. GP Value: 800.

Type II: This Mirror has a 60° field of vision, and plays back all that
passes before it at two times normal speed, but plays it backwards,
starting from the most recent event and going back in time. EP Value:
450. GP Value: 1900.

Type III: This Mirror has a 60° field of vision, and plays back all that
passes before it at two times normal speed. EP Value: 800. GP Value:
3200.

Type IV: This mirror has the powers of a Type III Mirror with a 120°
field of vision. EP Value: 900. GP Value: 3800.
Yefar’s Great Mirror: This Mirror has all the powers of a Type IV
Mirror, but also records in total darkness and can record invisible
objects. EP Value: 1700. GP Value: 4600.

To replay what has been recorded, the mirror must be physically
held in both hands. It erases anything it replays, and begins to record
again when released, erasing anything that was not replayed. A Forget
spell will cancel the last 24 hours of memory, making the field blank. All
Mirrors except the Great Mirror need some light to function properly,
and will replay with the same illumination in which the subject was
recorded.

The Mirror does not record when something took place, merely
what took place, and will replay in the order things were recorded. So,
unless the user knows when the mirror was put down, he will not know
when the images took place. Haste and Slow spells will allow the user to
speed up or slow down what is shown, but all images will be shown in
the order they were recorded.
