Carol:
> It can read its casters mind and it can understand human speech,
but,so far as we know, it doesn't have long-distance ESP!)

Pippin:

Well, that's the point in dispute. But that magical objects or beings
in general can possess long distance ESP, as you call it, is not
debatable. 

Post owls and thestrals find  destinations they've never visited,
hundreds or even thousands of miles away.  Summoning charms affect
objects well out of sight. The Marauder's Map knows the name and
location of everyone at Hogwarts, even IIRC when it's not at Hogwarts
itself. If Fawkes can sense Harry's declaration of loyalty to
Dumbledore in the Chamber of Secrets, why shouldn't the Elder Wand be
able to sense its master's defeat, and know the identity of the victor?
