The magician must have a lock of hair from the target
or an item used by the target character for at least a year. For the target
character to send thoughts to the mage he must have a lock of hair or item
which the caster has used for a year. The mage must concentrate while the spell
is in effect; performing any other actions breaks the concentration and ends
the spell. The mage begins the spell by imagining he is speaking to the target
while holding the target's item. Because the spell has an effect value of 0,
the caster may only send and receive verbal messages. Skill rolls are not
allowed to interpret information received. The message travels at 1,000 meters
per round (speed value 15). At a range of one kilometer it takes a full round
(to seconds) for a message to be received. At a range of six kilometers it
takes a full minute to receive a message. The mage controls the spell's
duration and effect.
