-The cantrip serves as an effective means of capturing the notice of allies or diverting the focus of adversaries. It possesses the unique ability to penetrate wooden doors and barriers with its audible resonance.  When employed in urban environments, it reliably attracts the attention of those in proximity, offering a tool to either maintain silence or guide their gaze toward matters of significance.
+The cantrip possesses the unique ability to penetrate wooden doors and barriers with its audible resonance, and can overcome the ambient noise that exists in a tavern or a busy street.  Thus it reliably attracts the attention of those in proximity, as a tool to either obtain a moment of silence or guide an audience's gaze towards some matter of significance.
 Additionally, use of the cantrip could agreed upon ahead of time for a signal to turn and break combat, change tactics, or perhaps come and give support for the caster.  Likewise, should the caster be lost and seeking to attract the attention of searchers, the whistle could serve as  means of providing one's approximate location.

-'''Whistle''' is a cantrip that produces a continuous, wind-like sound, fluctuating in pitch.  This gives an eerie vibe when indoors, hinting at the presence of the supernatural, even more so during the dead of night.

-The caster can impress a message of up to six words into the sound, which a single predetermined creature will be able to consciously understand, though the creature's actual hearing of the message will be instantly doubted.  This six word message will have no influence on the creature ''by itself'' ... however, if the creature has been carefully primed, so that they have other reasons to believe the truth of the message, then the whistling words may very well be that which pushes the creature over the edge.

		+	The cantrip is able to convey a six-word message that can be heard distinctly by 1 creature, sounding as though it were something the creature imagined having heard ‘on the wind.’
		+
		+	The message itself will have no influence upon the creature’s mind or intention; but if the creature fails its saving throw, it will sheathe its weapon and move off to speak to another of its companions, to explain what has been heard.
