>>>All in all, I think the Foe Glass episode says more about the
unreliable nature of the Foe Glass (and perhaps all similar magical
"indicators"?) <<<



Marion:
But if foe glasses only reflect your own preconcieved and prejudiced
notions, if they are so unreliable, why have a foe glass at all? They will
tell you nothing you don't already believe to be the truth.



Sherry now:

My impression of things like the foe glass was that it would tell you if an
enemy was approaching.  Not that it would tell you who your enemies are, in
case you didn't know, just that a person you considered to be an enemy was
approaching.  So, if Barty perceived that so and so was his enemy, it would
show him when or if that person was approaching.  A sort of specialized
security camera!
