| Description: | The Distant Gaze spell allows you to watch the goings-on where you have a moonbeam focused. Though it is not the most powerful scrying tool available to Moon Mages, it works well for guard duty, where a mage can be aware of people or creatures approaching an area -- such as outside a home or on the entry path to a dangerous hunting area.
In addition, the psychic link this spell establishes can be used to project thoughts in a limited capacity. If the spell is cast while firmly concentrating on a message, the magic will expend itself as a weak telepathic wave. A crude but effective means to "speak" to people remotely. This is a non-battle spell that can be cast on a single target. Non-battle spells have significantly longer preparation times than battle spells. It can be cast without a target. It requires a minimum of twelve mana streams, and can expand to a maximum of ninety-three mana streams woven into it. To begin to be able to cast this spell, you will need to reach the rank of a proficient practitioner. By the time you have mastered this spell, you will be ranked as a savant in your abilities as a caster. It requires the Utility skill to cast effectively. | |
