Encode Thoughts
Enchantment Cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: S
Duration: 8 hours
As in Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica except they can now be read by anyone if they use their Action, and with the following improvements with level:
- At 5th Level. The spell has a duration of 24 hours, and can have simple parameters set to end the spell early (such as after the thought is read once).
- At 11th Level. The spell has a duration of up to 5 days, and can have more complex parameters set in place to end it early, as such as when three people read it, or if it leaves a particular area.
- At 17th Level. The spell lasts until dispelled, unless parameters end the spell early.
- At 23rd Level. The spell no longer ends if you use it again.
- At 28th Level. You can place mental traps on your thought strands. When you create a thought strand, you may add safeguard traps which trigger under certain circumstances, such as when a chosen creature type or anyone except a named creature tries to read it. If a forbidden creature tries to read the thought strand, it must succeed on an Intelligence saving throw. On a success, the creature reads the thought as normal. On a failure, the creature takes 6d10 psychic damage and thought strand is not read. In either way, the spell then ends for that thought strand.
