Scry auto pvp consent + disguise
What if I disguise myself, then cast a scry spell and my magic eye is discovered. What would they see, my disguise name, my real name? Would they really know who really did it then?
MmmmMMMMmmm, tasty humanz, hmmmmMMM!!!

When a scrying sensor is created it bears the caster's unique arcane mark which can be deciphered with a spellcraft check, thus revealing the mage's identity because disguise is irrelevant when it comes to arcane marks.

Mechanically though that doesn't work, does it?

"Is that why you are killing them?"
"Yes. They will atone in death."
"Ah. That will help them understand."

If it doesn't, it should, because a caster's arcane mark is not something that can be disguised, especially when it comes to the scrying spell.
The spell itself merely states

Might be a job for QC to test what mechanically happens in this situation. I suspect it will only reveal the character's disguised name and not their true identity as it well should.Regardless of the saving throws, if a creature in close proximity is able to see the sensor it performs a spellcraft check against the spell's DC to identify the caster. If successful, both parties are informed and the eavesdropping party will have auto-consented to PvP.

I've tried a few times to make it happen. Never seen any sign it does work or even makes a throw. I'll try again :E

You need to be able to see the sensor (See Invisibility/True Seeing), then perhaps try an Inspect on the sensor once you can see it? I never tried this out either.

Hm. Wow. That begs another question, then. What if I got the spell from my priest domain? Priests don't have a personalized wizard sigil, don't they?
