Transference

This spell is a part of the Transference spell chain and is found in the Transference rune stone.

The mind already reaches. This is the first thing the mentimancer learns. Thought does not stop at the skull, that consciousness extends into the space around it, that Dream has always been the medium through which minds could theoretically touch one another across any distance. It is often an old saying that when you think of a person they can sense it. Transference is the simplest possible expression of that truth.

The mentimancer thinks the message they wish to send, finds the mind they wish to send it to - someone known, someone whose presence in the inner space the mentimancer can recognize and reach toward - and lets Dream carry it. The person the message is being sent to must be known by the mentimancer. It is not enough to hear of them, they have had to meet them. To become familar enough with them that when they think of them they can see them. The words arrive in the target's mind moments later, clear and complete, regardless of how far away they are. No messenger. No delay. Just thought traveling through Dream the way sound travels through air.

The mentimancer cannot hear the response. They cannot read what the target thinks in return. Transference is one direction only. It is a sending, not a conversation. What the target does with the message, whether they act on it or ignore it or even believe it arrived from where it said it did, is entirely beyond the mentimancer's reach. Dream delivers. It does not negotiate.
