Written Upon the Water

Cost: 10m Target: Template:Body of liquid

The sorcerer inscribes upon the surface of any body of liquid a message intended for one other person and then strikes the liquid surface with the open palm of his hand. The same message appears on the next liquid surface at which the recipient looks. The message appears at the same speed it was written. If the liquid is clear, the writing manifests in letters of dark ink. Otherwise, the message appears in ink of fiery gold. Once the target looks away, the message vanishes and never reappears.

The sorcerer can scribe as many words as the total mote capacity of his combined Essence pools. He can send the message to an individual any distance away in Creation, but only to people he has met in person at least once. No one sees the message but its intended recipient.
