Contact Home Power

This spell establishes a tenuous link through the Astral Plane between the caster's present location and that of the patron power. This link permits the priest to regain spells as if the god is recognized and venerated within the crystal sphere.

Distance has no effect upon the priest's attempt to contact the home power, but dimensional gates, anti-magic fields, and the effects of dispel magic will prevent the use of the spell. Also, the spell will not function in areas from which the power has been specifically banished (whether from death of an avatar, banishment by spell, or some voluntary action of the god). A priest attempting to link with his or her patron power in such locations become aware that contact with the god is not possible, but will not know the reason.

The duration of the spell is one week, as long as the priest remains in the same crystal sphere in which the spell was cast. Passage into another plane (even the ethereal) breaks the spell, as will a successful dispel magic. This spell cannot be cast in the phlogiston.

The material component of this spell is a small horn. When winded, the horn calls the attention of the deity to its servant (it also attracts the attention of others within earshot).

Notes: Common for priests from a spelljamming culture; otherwise, very rare.
