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. 
PrerequisitesGreat 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.
