Tongues

Spell — see Magic and Spellcasting for the rules and the Spell Index for the full list.

Divine 4 Type: detection, esoteric

Range: 90’ Duration: 1 turn

This spell grants the caster the ability to speak and understand the language of any intelligent creature within range.

The reverse, garble, can be cast on an intelligent living target within range. No saving throw is permitted. If the target is the beneficiary of a tongues spell, garble will negate the tongues spell; otherwise, garble will render the target unable to speak and understand the languages of other intelligent creatures. While unable to communicate with others, the target may still think clearly and understand his own words, so garble does not prevent the target from casting spells. Indeed, the target may not immediately realize he is under the effects of a garble – he may think something is wrong with the creatures around him who can’t understand what he’s saying.
