Rary’s Telepathic Bond (Alteration, Divination) (Mentalism) Level: 5 Range: 20 yds. Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 rd. Duration: 2 turns/level Area of Effect: Two or more creatures within 60 ft. Saving Throw: None With this spell, the wizard can forge a telepathic bond between two or more creatures with an Intelligence of 6 or higher. The bond can be established only between willing creatures. The creatures involved need not all speak the same language to communicate via the bond. The telepathic bond can be placed upon one creature for every three levels of the caster, so a 16thlevel wizard can forge a telepathic link among five creatures. Once the bond is formed, the creatures can stay in contact only if they remain on the same plane. No special power or influence is conferred by establishing the bond. A [[Permanency]] spell cannot make a telepathic bond permanent. A wish spell can, but no more than two creatures can be permanently bonded together in this way. The material components are a piece of a shell from the eggs of two species of egg-laying creatures. Notes: Uncommon or rare spell (WoG). A marginally different version appears in The Complete Wizard's Handbook. This is the preferred form.
