Black Servants (D2 and Conj 1) are likely your best bet. Or just bite the bullet, and accept that one fort has to produce scouts rather than mages (note this is rarely the best option, but sometimes it is your only one). If you don't have national scouts, then the Black Servants are your only sensible option for a scout unit.
You can also think about a spell. Astral Window (S2 and Thau3) lets you spy on a province remotely. Or do what a lot of players do, and forge Stone Spheres (E1S1, and IIRC, Con4 (or maybe Con6)). And this lets any commander unit cast the Astral Window spell for free.
