Speculum Infernus
The Speculum Infernus is a strange arcane device that is possessed by the Grey Knights and only activates when the Daemon Primarch Magnus has entered Realspace.[1]
When this occurs the Chapter's Prognosticators use their powers upon the device to determine where the Daemon Primarch is and what plots he is conducting. The Speculum Infernus, though, will provide numerous glimpses of areas or worlds tied to what Magnus is doing; as well as alternating histories of what is occurring there. It is up to the Prognosticators to determine what the visions are showing them, but this is fraught with danger. The use of the Speculum Infernus draws the attention of Tzeentch Daemons and can also gain the ire of Magnus himself. Such is his power that the Daemon Primarch can launch a psychic attack against the Prognosticator using the device.[1]
This risk has increased, since the Great Rift's creation has led Magnus to appear in Realspace more frequently. With the Daemon Primarch now active in the Forzare System, Grand Master Voldus fears Magnus could use the Speculum Infernus to attack Titan itself and has forbidden anyone from using the device.[3]
