Example: your Performance Skill Level is 1. These two rulers use separate scales in metres: 0–6 m for the new cast and 0–60 m for the existing link.

  1. Use the first ruler’s 0–6 m scale. Choose the willing, visible scout 4 m away with clear line of effect.
  2. Pay normally and succeed on the Performance casting check against Difficulty 1 to establish the link.
  3. Use the second ruler’s separate 0–60 m scale. The participants are now 40 m apart, with a barrier between them; their existing link still works.
  4. Either participant may deliberately send words during an ordinary opportunity to speak, with no action and no need to speak aloud.

Result: At Performance 1, initial targeting is within 6 m. After a legal successful cast, the link can work up to 60 m apart.

  • The link reads no thoughts, supplies no senses or images and translates no language.
  • It lasts up to ten minutes at Performance 1, ending sooner if separation exceeds 60 m, either participant ends it, Trance ends or a Scene Reset occurs.
  • With Resonant Verse, add 6 m to each range. Start the link within 12 m; afterwards, you can be up to 66 m apart. Do not multiply the bonus by ten.
  • Normal casting requirements and costs still apply.
