Greater Incantation of Mercury
Spell, Astrology, level 4
Like the lesser version but empathic, allowing communication with any creature, even non-speaking or semi-intelligent ones, with the same reaction bonus.
From the book
A stronger form of the Lesser Incantation of Mercury. Instead of needing a shared language, the caster communicates by empathy with any individual or creature within 100 ft., much as Telepathy allows, so even semi-intelligent beings and those without speech can be understood. The caster still earns +1 on Charisma or reaction rolls, as with the lesser spell. It lasts 10 minutes per level of ability.

A scene
The young hippocampus is tangled in a net off Antilla, thrashing so hard the fishermen dare not come near with their knives. Dione, the ship's astrologer, leans over the side and reaches out with the planet's gift, not in words but in feeling. Panic floods back at her, and pain, and a fierce longing for its mother in the deep water. She sends back calm, and patience, and a promise. Slowly the creature stills, and lets the men cut it free without a single kick.
