Encode Thoughts

#cantrip #enchanting Casting Time: #1-action Range: self Components: S Duration: 8 hour

---

Putting a finger to your head, you pull a memory, an idea, or a message from your mind and transform it into a tangible string of glowing energy called a thought strand, which persists for the duration or until you cast this spell again. The thought strand appears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you as a Tiny, weightless, semisolid object that can be held and carried like a ribbon. It is otherwise stationary.

If you cast this spell while {@status concentration||concentrating} on a spell or an ability that allows you to read or manipulate the thoughts of others (such as {@spell detect thoughts} or {@spell modify memory}), you can transform the thoughts or memories you read, rather than your own, into a thought strand.

Casting this spell while holding a thought strand allows you to instantly receive whatever memory, idea, or message the thought strand contains. (Casting {@spell detect thoughts} on the strand has the same effect.)
