My players and I are having some confusion about spells, that may have been answered on a 3.5 forum somewhere, but as I love the Paizo forums I figured I'd ask you guys first.
Our question arose from the Scrying spell, which as its components has "V, S, M/DF (a pool of water), F (a silver mirror worth 1,000 gp)".
I understand the Verbal and Somatic components. My question is...what does a Druid need to use to cast this? It looks like the M/DF is seperated for arcane/divine casters (implying they both need that to use it), but what about the standard Focus (silver mirror)? Does a druid need that? Is it only needed for wizards? When a wizard uses the pool of water does it vanish because it's a material component (as the Material part of the book says they disappear when used)? Does a druid need to use both it and a mirror?
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

A Druid is a divine caster, so they only need the Divine Focus (pool of water), the Wizard does not need the Divine Focus, only the silver mirror.
The Divine Focus (or the normal Focus) are not expended. The pool of water doesn't go away after the Druid has used it to scry.
