I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'burn prophet's' is the first definition.
'seer' can be an answer for 'prophet's' (both can mean someone who tells the future). I am unsure of the 'burn' bit.

'report' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for seer that I've seen before include "I envisage" , "Person of vision" , "wise fellow" , "Sibyl" , "Oracle or prophet" .)
