The Silent Whisper

Level: 1

Rarity: Common

Every mind murmurs constantly, and the static from those nearby reverberates in your head like wind through leaves. What better focus for your magic then, than the very thoughts of those around you? Your versatile telepathic abilities let you soothe and communicate with your allies or control your enemies.

Granted Spells

Standard Psi Cantrips

Daze

You can daze from a great distance. The range increases to 120 feet. Your daze also gains the following amp.

Amp Your spell cracks the target's mental defenses, leaving it susceptible to further psychic attack. The spell's damage changes to 1d10. If the target fails its Will save, until the end of its next turn, it gains weakness 1 to mental damage and takes a –1 status penalty to Will saves. On a critical failure, the weakness is 3 (in addition to the target being Stunned 1). The weakness applies before daze deals damage.

Amp Heightened (+2) The spell's damage increases by 2d10, and the weakness on a failure or critical failure increases by 1.

Message

Your message is not so easily bound by obstacles. The spell can travel up to 120 feet to reach the target, bending around walls and obstacles; this means you don't need a straight line of effect or line of sight to cast message as long as you know the target's space and there is an unblocked path of 120 feet or less that can reach them. It also gains the following amp.

Amp Your telepathic message allows you to coordinate your actions while you pass on information. The target of the message can immediately spend its reaction to Step or Stride.

Amp Heightened (4th) The target of the message can choose to Shove, Strike, or Trip with its reaction instead.

Unique Psi Cantrips

surface: Forbidden Thought

Amp Your telepathic push is particularly shocking to those who resist it. If the target fails its save, it's also Stunned 1.

deeper: Shatter Mind

Amp You increase the area of the spell to your choice of a @Template[cone|distance:30] or @Template[cone|distance:60], and the damage dice for the spell change to d10s. Creatures that fail are Stupefied 1 until the start of your next turn (or Stupefied 2 on a critical failure).

deepest: Contagious Idea

Amp You can choose to spread the thought from the second target to a third target, in the same manner as spreading it from the first target to the second. A pleasant thought grants twice as many temporary Hit Points (10, plus an additional 2 for each level heightened).
