The caster gathers the willing participants in a close circle, hands joined or shoulders touching. A thin copper wire is wound loosely around the group's joined hands — a symbolic circuit. The caster begins a quiet, rhythmic chant while focusing on the mental signature of each participant in turn: their voice, their mannerisms, the texture of their thoughts. One by one, the caster links each mind to the next, building a chain of consciousness. Recipients describe the moment of connection as a gentle click, like a puzzle piece falling into place. Suddenly, they can feel the others' presence — not their thoughts (not yet), but their existence, their proximity, their emotional state. The caster completes the circuit by linking the last participant back to the first. For the duration, all bonded creatures can speak mind to mind across any distance on the same plane: words, images, emotions, even sensory impressions can be shared. The bond is intimate but not intrusive — each participant chooses what to share.
You forge a telepathic link among up to eight willing creatures of your choice within range, psychically linking each creature to all the others for the duration. Creatures with Intelligence scores of 2 or less aren't affected by this spell. Until the spell ends, the targets can communicate telepathically through the bond whether or not they have a common language. The communication is possible over any distance, though it can't extend to other planes of existence.
