You create an invisible sensor within range in a location familiar to you (a place you have visited or seen before) or in an obvious location that is unfamiliar to you (such as behind a door, around a corner, or in a grove of trees). The sensor remains in place for the duration, and it can't be attacked or otherwise interacted with.
When you cast the spell, you choose seeing or hearing. You can use the chosen sense through the sensor as if you were in its space.
You close your eyes and extend your hand, focusing on the chosen location. An invisible presence forms there, unseen but tangible to your awareness. Through it, sights or sounds filter back to your mind.
