Communication is all important in the acts of a cleric. Communication over a distance is obviously a bigger problem. This Manc is not about preaching to many, but of sending a message to another individual that is far from the caster's location.
The sender must have a clear image in their mind of whom they wish to send the whisper to, or a special title already decided upon between the sender and receiver on some previous occasion. The title enables the message to be sent to whomever currently holds that title. The sender then casts the spell and includes the message within. They must not do this out loud but must whisper it. The message is then trapped within a small mist that begins its journey to the recipient of the whisper. It can, of course, be used to send a message to someone in the immediate vicinity, and is almost instant in this way. The speed of travel for the whisper is dependent upon the Level of the sender and is indicated on the Whisper Speed Table.

The Whisper can be intercepted on its journey. Banish Manc on the mist, and Silence on the mist, cast in time that the Silence Manc Duration is still active when the mist reaches the recipient.
When the mist reaches its target recipient, the mist flows around their hearing sensory organs and enters, it is at this moment that the mist dissipates and the whisper can be heard by the recipient. Even if the recipient is in a loud battle, partly deaf or otherwise speaking, they still hear the whispered message. Only if the recipient is totally deaf, under the effects of a Deafness Manc, or has no hearing sensory organs will the whisper not be heard by the recipient. At this time the Duration ends.
The message can be no longer than the Level of the caster x 2 Rounds. Only the caster's voice can be sent by Night Whisper, any background sounds or extraneous sounds are not sent in the message.
