This spell creates a more powerful sort of message mote. Its effects are identical to an ordinary message mote in all important respects save two. Though it also appears for only 1 round at a time, it can reappear whenever its triggering conditions are met for as many times as the caster has levels at the time of casting before the magic is

exhausted.

A multiple message mote is also capable of delivering two different messages: a general message of 33 words, and a special, secondary message of 16 additional words that are uttered only in the presence of a personal holy symbol of Tyr (in other words, when the beings triggering the mote include a priest of the Just God). The caster has the option of suppressing this second message when within spell range of beings who do not carry holy symbols of Tyr (such as when Tyrran priests are accompanied by nonpriests) or of not using this aspect at all. (Due to these special properties, many multiple message moles appear as trap warnings in the secret entry passages of numerous temples.)

Notes: Granted by the Tyr the Just God of the Forgotten Realms setting. This spell is found only in a few exceptionally rare tomes.
