Effect: When this spell is CAST, the M-U can {whisper} a message and secretly, or openly,
point his || her finger while so doing,
and the whispered message will travel in a straight line and be audible to the creature pointed at.

The message must fit spell duration,
and if there is time remaining,
the creature who received the message can whisper a reply and be heard by the spell caster.
Note that there must be an open && unobstructed path between the spell caster and the recipient of the spell.

MC: A short piece of _copper_ drawn fine.

DMG: This is not a tongues spell, and speech will be as normal for the spell caster.

Message: An important extra detail given 
in the DMG is that this spell confers no 
extra linguistic abilities (ie, it isn't a 
variant of a tongues spell).

Scroll Creation:

  • 1 ounce giant squid sepia
  • 1 human or humanoid ear
  • 1 human tongue (from a different body than the ear)
  • 1 floral crown from an angelica plant
  • 1 turnip
  • 3 shoots of fox-tail grass
  • 6 hedge mustard leaves
  • 1 drop of dew

    •  

     

    Harvest a drop of dew from fern leaves
    beneath the light of the full moon. Place
    a cauldron of water over a fire, add the
    dew, and heat to a boil. Dice the organic
    ingredients separately, and add them to
    the boiling mixture in the following order:
    the tongue, angelica, hedge mustard,
    foxtail, turnip, and last the ear, stirring
    well with a wooden rod or spoon after
    each infusion. Allow the mixture to boil
    gently until the liquid is vaporized. Gently
    warm the sepia over a small flame.
    Scrape the residue from the inside of the
    cauldron and stir it into the sepia. Keep
    heating the mixture for one hour, stirring
    frequently. Allow it to cool slowly and
    stand undisturbed for one day.

    Wu Jen: Upon casting this spell, the wu jen whispers a message and points at a TARGET within range.
    The TARGET hears the message and, if time remains, the TARGET may reply.
