[QUOTE="Noir, post: 1484011, member: 8216"] [b]Answers to ElectricDragon[/b] I have thought about the duration, and you are correct. It should be concentration, but changing it to concentration requires a more detailed explaination to what the spell does, effectively age someone and state that there is no magic left after the spell has ended but yet the effect of it are permanent. 3 rounds/level is the CL cap I was talking about, and maybe it is necessary for the spell to be balanced. As I mentioned in one of my above posts, a DM that allows ageing effects must also allow de-ageing effects. I will write a de-ageing spell as soons as [I]Whispers of Old[/I] is finished. You can only target on creature at the time with [I]Whispers of Old[/I]. Do not ask me for a reasonable in game explaination, because I have none. The only thing I can think of is that what is whispered depends on who the target is. This also ensures that no one that hears the whispering are also affected. The real explaination is to prevent senarios as the one you mention to occur. I am actually working on a spell that will be able to bring back people whom have died of natural causes. It will be based on a host body concept. The vocal loss is not that bad a flavor element. How about: The words whispered are so ancient and hard to pronouce that for each round the spell is active the caster loses his voice for one round afterwards. Finally I have a question for you, since you seem to be quite experienced when it comes to balancing spells. Should you be able to use [I]Whispers of Old[/I] via [I]Scry[/I] through the use of [I]Message[/I]? [/QUOTE]
