Calling

Spell, Low Magic, level 6

Lets a person or creature the caster has met sense, at any distance, that the caster is summoning them, though no message is carried.

From the book

The caster reaches out to any single individual or creature he has met at least once. However far away the subject is, it feels that the caster is calling. No particular message can be sent, but the subject, be it animal, humanoid or anything else, understands by instinct that the caster is summoning it.

A scene

Old Tsunda, shaman of an Okalo herding village, is dying in her hut, and her apprentice is on the other side of the ocean, studying at the University of the Arts in Atlantis. She has not seen him in two years. She closes her eyes and reaches for him anyway. In a crowded lecture hall a thousand miles away, the young man suddenly stops writing. He does not know what is wrong, only that someone he knows is calling for him, and that he must go. He is at the harbor before sundown, looking for a ship.
