Converse with Sea Creatures

(See also: Speak with Animals (Priest Spell))

Of Ships And Sea Text

This spell allows the caster to communicate with any sea creature whose intelligence is Animal or higher. The caster can understand such creatures and respond in the correct tongue. Conversation with some or all of the sea creatures within the area of effect is possible, even if they are of different races and do not speak each other's languages.

Like the priest spell speak with animals, this spell does not guarantee that the sea creatures will act friendly toward the caster; they are free to forgo speech and attack him if they wish. Nor does this spell allow the caster to breathe underwater. Furthermore, conversation is still subject to hearing limitations (see page 73). The material component of this spell is a small trumpet made of shell (which is consumed in the casting) and the caster's holy symbol.
