-'''Ventriloquism''' enables the caster to make is seem as though his or her voice is emanating from a location elsewhere, within the spell's range.  The voice can be clearly understood, is distinctly not that of the caster and can be made to happen without requiring the caster's physical contribution.
+'''Ventriloquism''' is a spell that allows the caster to create the [[Illusion|illusion]] that their voice is originating from a selected location within the spell's range, as chosen by the practitioner.  The projected voice is intelligible, distinctly different from the caster's own, and can be produced without the need for the caster's direct physical involvement or maintained [[Spellcasting|concentration]].

-In effect, the caster imagines what's vocalised — and the sound emerges at a speed of about 5 words per round.  Meanwhile, the caster may take whatever other action he or she wishes, while the "thrown" voice continues to speak.  The timbre and quality of the voice cannot be altered; it will emerge naturally, at a slightly higher pitch than the caster's and with a moderate hollow quality; yet it's authenticity as a spoken voice won't be questioned.
+Ventriloquism can be revealed through spells such as [[Penetrate Disguise (spell)|penetrate disguise]], [[Detect Illusion (spell)|detect illusion]] or [[True Seeing (spell)|true seeing]], each of which indicates the voice is disembodied and false.
-Ventriloquism's potential for creating a distraction depends on its use by the player.  A well-considered circumstance, where the voice could represent an unseen person just behind a door, or much nearer the listener than the actual character, could substantially increase the character's chance of circumventing the listener's attention, or achieving surprise.  The DM must use good sense in deciding how practical the player's words and plans are in this regard.

-Enables the caster to make it seem as though his or her voice is emanating from a chosen location, within the spell’s range. The source may be animate or inanimate. The spell does not allow the caster to duplicate the sound of another person, but it is possible, if only a few words are spoken ~ and the subject’s lips are not visible, for the ventriloquist to make it seem as though a silent person has said something. At least, the person will be the direction from which the sound is coming.
