English term or phrase: scrying
the warpgate, hidden no more from his sorcerous companion’s scrying,...
Xavier
advinaciones por cristales / (or by other things - see ref for examples)
Explanation:
The OED defines scrying as divining by crystal-gazing.

The way I see this is that there was previously something stopping the sorcerous companion from seeing the warpgate in his divination, but now he can see it.

The divination could be by other means as well, eg stones, shells, etc
