The blue crystal of this earring is wrapped with delicate copper wire styled in the shape of a flying serpent, the symbol of the Zhentarim.

The earring has 5 charges.  While wearing it, you can use an action to expend 1 charge and cast the message spell.  The earring regains 1d4+1 expended charges daily at dawn.

Message

Cast time: Action

Range: 120 feet

Components: S, M (a copper wire)

Duration: 1 round

You point toward a creature within range and whisper a message.  The target (and only the target) hears the message and can reply in a whisper that only you can hear.

You cast this spell through solid objects if you are familiar with the target and know it is beyond the barrier.  Magical silence; 1 foot of stone, metal, or wood; or a thin sheet of lead blocks the spell.
