You touch a standard sized piece of paper (up to 1ft x 1ft) and it folds itself origami-style into an approximation of a flying creature or object (bird, paper airplane, etc). The Direct Message then flies at 60ft/turn toward its recipient on the safest route you know of. The recipient must be someone the caster has shaken hands with (or equivalent) and vaguely knows the location of. The recipient must be within the square of the character's caster level, measured in miles (49mi at level 7). The DM will not cross planes under any circumstances. Receiving a DM will grant the recipient enough knowledge of the caster's location to send their own reply, if they are able to cast this spell.
Capturing or destroying DMs is considered a crime in most civilized areas. The DM has 1HP and an 18 AC owing to its tiny size. It may be blocked or captured, and will reveal its message with a DC 15 Sleight of Hand check; this ends the spell. A failure increases the DC by one and decreases the flying speed by 5ft. If the flying speed reaches 0ft the magic is expended and the message is destroyed. A captured or blocked DM will try to escape for 10min / caster level.
A Warlock may only use this spell to communicate with their Patron or others who serve them.
