This spell allows the caster to hear news from afar.
To cast it, the magician cocks his head upwind, cups his ear with his hand, and
asks in a clear voice "What news from the (direction the wind is blowing
from)?" The wind, if the caster is addressing the correct the
direction, answers. The caster may then ask more specific questions, but the
wind only answers those questions concerning the direction it comes from. The
speed of the spell is 10 kilometers a round, so the news will be nearly
"as it happens."
