Whispering Wind

The Whispering Wind Ritual allows the Ritual Caster to send a message to a Target Spirit as long as the Target is not permanently dead and presently on the same Plane of existence. The Ritual Effect sends the message to the Target allowing only them to hear it. The Target may choose to ignore the Ritual Effect message.

The following limitations can be altered by adjusting the base difficulty or increasing the difficulty of the Ritual casting. The Caster must have met the Target Spirit. The Target will be aware of the identity of the Caster. The message is limited to 30 words plus one word per level of Ritual magic possessed by the Caster.

The following effects can be added during a casting, but all costs add to the base Difficulty and Reagent Cost.

• +2 DC and +1 reagent per extra target (must use the target with the greatest base DC to calculate total costs.) Additional Messages are subject to the same delivery limitations as the primary message (as long as it takes the Marshal to find the subject and may fail if the subject cannot be located).
• +5 DC and +3 reagents to hide the identity of the message sender.
• +1 reagents for every 10 words added to the base allowed.

The Local Plot Committee should be notified in advance of the Ritual casting, so a proper experience may be supplied. The Ritual Marshal is responsible for ensuring the Ritual Effect message gets delivered. The message takes as long to deliver as it takes for a Non-Player Character to find the Target. The time allowed for delivery of the message is 2 hours or the Ritual Effect will fail. This time limit is extendable by the Plot Committee. This Ritual Effect may not be used for communication between chapters without prior agreement between both Plot Committees.
