Communicate

Via this spell, a priest can communicate with another individual anywhere on the Prime Material Plane. The individual to be contacted must be known to the priest, and cannot be within any type of force field like a cube of force, minor ward major ward major at minor globe of invulnerability, etc., nor under the protection of a mind blank spell or a psionic defense like tower of iron will. The other, if asleep, will awaken upon making a successful saving throw vs. spell (a new saving throw is allowed every other melee round).

Once contact is established, if the subject is willing, the priest can see and hear, whatever that subject can see and hear, and vice versa.

The communication link is so strong that the priest can cast a curing spell of any type upon the person being contacted. Casting such a spell breaks the link immediately. Further, the priest can cast no further spells for one full day plus one additional day for each level of the cure spell cast.

If contact is established while the subject is occupied (for example, casting a spell or involved in melee), the subject must stop any current activity to accept the communication. As the priest can only look in on and communicate with a willing recipient, such refusal ends the spell immediately, leaving the caster no information about the recipient.

The spell requires a mirror as a focus.

Notes: Very rare spell. (Updated from Dragon Magazine.)
