The whispers spell allows a priest to overhear anything said by any individual he or she can see. The caster must focus on one creature at a time, but can shift the focus instantly – to keep up with a conversation, for example. Because the sounds are actually carried on the wind between the priest and the subject, scrying or similar spells cannot be used for the purpose of “seeing.”

Notes: Uncommon for priests of the Dark Sun setting.
