Message
Message
Regular; Resisted by spells that block sound
Send a spoken message to a subject. Use the long-distance modifiers. If the caster doesn’t know the subject, he is at -2. If he doesn’t know the subject’s whereabouts, he is also at -5 (a successful Seeker spell will eliminate this). These penalties may be cumulative. A successful Trace gives a +5 bonus.
The subject hears the message clearly and distinctly whatever his sonic surroundings, but nobody else hears it. Silence, Wall of Silence, and Noise will resist the incoming message.
Duration: The message travels to the subject at 50 mph. This speed doubles when the casting cost is doubled.
Cost: 1 per 15 seconds of message duration.
Time to cast: Equal to the message’s duration, as spoken by the caster.
Prerequisites: Great Voice and Seeker.
Item
A conch one speaks into while concentrating on a mental picture of the subject and his surroundings.
Energy cost to create: 1,000.
