This formal magic may only be cast upon a weapon, shield, armor, pouch, door, or any other item up to a normal door in size.  If cast upon a suit of armor, the armor will never breach but may still be reduced to zero points via normal combat damage.

Various effects may still destroy an indestructible item.  The onus of ability to do so is on the NPC or PC who is performing the destruction.  Proper documentation of the ability to destroy an indestructible item will allow destruction of said item even though this formal magic renders it indestructible to normal IG means.

Name:                        Whispering Wind

Target:                        Spirit

Duration:       One Message

School:                       Celestial or Earth (scroll must be marked as one or the other)

Components:            P2, E1, S1, V1

This formal magic causes a message to be delivered on the wind to anyone who meets the following conditions: that person has a spirit; the caster has met them; they are not permanently dead; and presently on this plane of existence.

The wind will carry the message to the recipient where only he will be able to hear it.  The recipient may choose to ignore any Whispering Wind that comes to him.  The recipient will be aware of the identity of the message sender.

The message is limited to five words plus one word per level of formal magic ability possessed by the caster.

The time for the message to be delivered varies

Certain effects and fluctuations of magic may prevent the message from being delivered.

The marshal is responsible for delivering the message or finding an NPC to deliver the message.  The message will take as long to deliver as it takes for the formal magic marshal or the designated NPC to find the recipient.  If the recipient is not on site the message delivery will obviously be delayed.  The time allowed for delivery of the message is 2 hours or the formal magic will fail, this time limit is extendable by the plot committee.  This formal magic may not be used for communication between chapters without prior agreement between the staff/plot committees of both chapters. If communication between chapters is attempted, the player may be responsible for obtaining such agreements.
