Whispering Tide (Wizard Spell)

A nautical variation of the spell whispering wind, this spell enables the wizard to send a mes­sage or cause some desired sound effect in a spe­cific location within range that is familiar to the wizard. The whispering tide can travel over or under the surface of any body of water. It is no more than a mere ripple or gentle current, and usu­ally unnoticed by anyone until it reaches the desig­nated location. It then delivers its message, regardless of whether or not anyone is there to hear it, and dissipates. The wizard may dictate a mes­sage of up to 25 words or instead cause the whispering tide to seem to be a faint ripple or splashing sound. The tide can move as slowly as 1 mile per hour, or as quickly as 1 mile per turn. No other spells may be cast through the whispering tide.
Notes: Uncommon for Water and Sea mages; otherwise, very rare.
