Messenger is a spell that summons a small creature to serve as a courier, relaying a message to a designated recipient. Only ordinary, non-magical and non-giant creatures may be affected. Within 2 to 8 rounds of casting, a suitable creature will present itself to the caster, drawn from those naturally inhabiting the surrounding environment.
| Range | self |
| Duration | 1 hour per level; see text |
| Area of Effect | 1 creature |
| Casting Time | 1 round |
| Saving Throw | none |
| Level | cleric (2nd) |
Once summoned, the creature will receive the caster's message, which must not exceed 12 words, and will be able to impart it directly into the mind of the intended recipient upon arrival. If the recipient is not within range, the creature will eventually lose interest, causing the message to be lost.
At the caster's discretion, a longer message may be given, lasting up to 1 minute per level of the caster. If the recipient has time to respond, the messenger will attempt to return and relay confirmation of delivery or a brief reply.
The summoned creature will be one suited to the terrain, capable of traversing obstacles such as rivers, lakes or rugged land, ensuring that the message has the best chance of reaching its destination. However, its travel speed is limited to four miles per hour. If the recipient is beyond the creature's feasible range, the message will ultimately remain undelivered.
