You send a short message of 25 words or fewer to a creature you have met or a creature described to you by someone who has met it. The target hears the message in its mind, recognizes you as the sender if it knows you, and can answer in a like manner immediately. The spell enables targets to understand the meaning of your message.
You can send the message across any distance and even to other planes of existence, but if the target is on a different plane than you, there is a 5 percent chance that the message doesn’t arrive. You know if the delivery fails.
Upon receiving your message, a creature can block your ability to reach it again with this spell for 8 hours. If you try to send another message during that time, you learn that you are blocked, and the spell fails.

Love the QOL changes here
Someone wanted to stop Jester real bad.
Tomelocks with Far Scribe and Aspect of the Moon in shambles. xD
I was wondering. If someone casts Sending on you, could you respond with a Vicious Mockery or a Power Word Kill?
Both spells have "within range" in the description as a limiting factor.
Power word kill also require that you see the target. And there "can hear" is not even a factor on both the caster or the target.
Are you poopin?
As a DM if the situation was sufficiently epic I would find a way to allow this as a one off.
"A creature can block your ability to reach it again with this spell for 8 hours."
Someone in the D&D24 design crew didn't like Jester's Sending Shenanigans.
