You create a telepathic link between yourself and a willing creature with which you are familiar. The creature can be anywhere on the same plane of existence as you. The spell ends if you or the target are no longer on the same plane.
When you cast this spell, you immediately know whether the target is living and willing to be contacted or dead/unwilling. An unwilling creature and a dead creature are both impossible to contact in the same, indistinguishable way. Assuming the target is alive and willing to be contacted, until the spell ends you also sense basic things about the creature's mental and emotional state, such as whether they are distressed or calm, safe or in danger, happy or sad, sane or insane. You also communicate your presence and awareness in such a way that they understand they are being emotionally “observed". The creature must make an wisdom check with a DC of 10 to know the precise identity of the person contacting them, and if they do know, the caster can also sense that.
No actual words, precise imagery, or other knowledge are communicated by means of this spell.
