Glimpse and Gaze give you telescope sight. Basically everything is enlarged
and you can see farther easier. The only difference is that Gaze last
longer, costs more, and takes up more mana. Kind of cool when you're
soloing, you can use it to stay in relative safety and still look for
monsters to hunt. Other than that I don't use it much, but they do have
there uses at points. As for where to find it, you can find it in the
library in neriak, if you're a dark elf. If you aren't you'll be killed
long before you ever make it there. For other towns, I don't have any clue,
since none of them will sell to me. Good luck finding it..
Tandayen, Dark Elf Wizard
