Message mote was an illusion spell that allowed a cleric to manifest a cluster of twinkling lights and short message, both of which appeared under certain specified circumstances.[1]

Effects[]

When this spell was cast, the cleric specified a number of conditions that would then activate the mote, along with a location at which it would rest. While in its dormant state, the mote could not be dispelled or detected.[1]

Once the caster's conditions were met, the message mote appeared as a cloud of twinkling light no more than 1 ft³ (0.028 m³) in volume. Based on the caster's specifications the mote appeared in different hues, intensities and shapes, even moving a limited distance or forming simple shapes. If the caster chose, the mote "spoke" a short message in the voice they used while uttering the spell's verbal component.[1]

History[]

This spell was inscribed in one of the scrolls that were contained within the Balance of Belaros.[1]

Casting[]

In addition to the spell's verbal component, message mote required a somatic component.[1]
