The SendingStone review

The spell Message, available to bards, sorcerers, and wizards, allows the caster to send a whispered message up to 120 feet away. The spell takes one action to cast and lasts for one round. To cast the spell, the caster must have a short piece of copper wire to use as a material component. The spell is useful for communicating covertly with companions or allies while avoiding detection by enemies. It is also helpful for scouting or gathering information without being noticed. Overall, Message is a versatile and practical spell for a variety of situations.
