The mage is able to open a pair of extra-dimensional "holes", one next to the mage and one at any location that the mage can see. At rank 1, the holes are visible as black spots floating in the air or seemingly attached to an object, wall, etc. As rank improves, the visible aspect becomes less and less noticeable until, at rank 12 and higher, the holes are invisible to normal sight (but visible to spells such as Detect Invisible). Note that the caster is always able to see the holes and can choose to have one or both of the holes fully visible at all times though this decision must be made when the spell is cast.
The mage can hear sounds just as if he were physically at the other hole while those at the other can easily hear sounds made by the mage and those around him. Thus, the spell can be used for communication or for spying. |
