The power to communicate with Creatures and humans.
Used by Benedict Hollysmith, Created by PoisedIvyT_T.
(It is clear that you are communicating with the target. You must actively and obviously be using Smoking Pipe.)

Benedict spends a minute prepping his smoking pipe and lighting it. Embracing the other in a polite conversation about their native environment, the weather... Sports?

Exert your Mind and spend one minute to activate. You must actively and obviously use Smoking Pipe to activate this Effect.

You may understand and communicate to Creatures and humans as if you are fluent in a relevant language for the next hour.

This also includes understanding any recorded communications from the relevant targets, including writings, scent trails, etc.

“If you use this Effect to spend an hour speaking with a native speaker of a human language you don't know, you may Exert your Mind and roll Intellect + Culture Difficulty 7. With Outcome 4 or higher, you permanently learn that language and accent.

  • Communing with creatures does not grant them intellect but does allow you to converse with them.
  • The target of "human" refers to any target that speaks a human language.
  • When reading written communications, you get no information beyond what the writer was intending to communicate.

After the death of River Lodestar, Alan has used his study of timelines to link back to hers through one of her crystals, and in so doing has infused it with the power to recall those once lost from the instant before their death to commune with the living world.

River, conversely, had used these crystals to enter the minds of creatures, and "borrow" their forms for a time.

While Alan's magic is distinct from River's, he was able to borrow a bit of her ability to connect with other minds. Using this crystal, one can reach back into their past and gather the memories of a language the bearer knows, how they learned it and have spoken it for years, and can place just that part of themselves temporarily into the mind of another. they become able to understand and even speak in this tongue until the magic fades.
