*Available for: [[Wizard]], [[Bard]]* | Level | Casting Time | Range<br>/Area | Components | Duration | School | Attack<br>/Save | Damage<br>/Effect | | ----- | ----------------- | -------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | -------- | --------------- | --------------- | ----------------- | | 1st | 1 Minute (Ritual) | Self | V, S, M (Some birdseed, which this spell consumes) | 20 days | [[Conjuration]] | N/A | Communication | When you cast this spell a spectral messenger bird appears before you. You may give the messenger bird a single letter or a parcel weighing no more than 5 pounds and specify the recipient by name and general location. The recipient must be on the same [[Plane]] as you. The messenger bird then disappears into the [[The Ethereal Plane|Ether]], re-emerging at it's destination exactly 10 days after this spell's casting and delivering the mail to it's recipient without fail. The messenger bird then waits for up to 1 hour for the recipient to formulate a response, if they wish to, and returns that response to you in another 10 days if you are still on the same Plane. The letter cannot be intercepted in transit, but can potentially be found and read by someone else upon it's arrival. You receive a magically created copy of a letter sent by this spell for your records. If you send a parcel, you instead receive a receipt. **_Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot._** The number of days it takes for the mail to arrive decreases by 1 day for each spell slot level above 1.
