Voltofs little bird is an impressed and focused spell that allows the caster to send a
message to a Specific person or place. The spell must be cast in sunlight
(either natural or magical). The caster needs an object from the person or
location. The mage holds the contagion in his hands and raises it above his
head. He then concentrates on the person or place while making sounds like a
chirping bird. The casting consumes the contagion. To release the spell, the
mage simply flaps his arms like a bird while speaking the message aloud. The
message may be up to one minute long (the spell's effect value). When the
message has been completed, a small white light streaks forth from the mage's
mind and takes to the sky in the form of a bird. The bird travels at a speed
value of 15 (one kilometer per round). The target must be within the range
total generated by the spell, which has a maximum of value of 25 (100
kilometers). The bird seeks the person or location with a divination skill of
15. The bird travels to the midpoint of the range and circles the caster at
that distance until it detects the target. The searched area is a vertical
circle with a radius of 23 (40 kilometers). The target's range· 10 is the
minimum time to reach the target. The maximum time is range· 7. The bird can
travel through cracks and crevices to get to its destination. Upon arrival, the
bird will whisper the message in the ear of the receiver. If a place was
designated, the bird will continuously repeat the message aloud until the end
of spell's duration or someone tells it to stop.
