Whispering Wind (spell).jpg

Whispering wind passes a message over a considerable distance, one that can be heard only by one or more intended listeners. The sound heard seems to arrive on the wind, so that a large number could hear the message at more or less the same time. The length of the message is limited to twelve words per round of duration the spell possesses.

Once the whispering wind is released, it requires an hour to traverse a distance of three miles. The message will travel at this speed in any direction, regardless of prevailing winds or local geography, until it reaches those intended to hear the message. The caster cannot dispel the wind or the message once it's sent.

The caster must personally know those persons designated as listeners, whether they are friends, acquaintances or enemies. The manner in which the message arrives tends to cause listeners to believe the message is true. Those with higher powers may choose to confirm the message by divinity or other means. Messages of warning and good intent receive the best results when passed along to strangers.
