Sends a whispered message to a designated recipient.

AD&D[]

Message[]

Debuted in the Player's Handbook as a magic-user spell.

Level: 1 School: Alteration
Components: V, S, M (a short piece of copper drawn fine)
Range: 6" + 1"/level Casting Time: 1 segment
Duration: 5 segments + 1 segment/level Saving Throw: Special
Area: 1/4" path

The caster whispers a message that fits the duration (in secret or in the open) and points their finger at a target in the area. The message travels in a straight line to the target, and is audible ot that creature. Note that any obstruction blocks the spell. If there is any time remaining after hearing the message, the recipient can whisper a reply in the same way.

DM's Advice: The caster speaks normally in any language they know or making any sounds they can -- the spell does not necessarily convey understanding to the recipient.
