You briefly tap into the weave of arcane data, conjuring a floating, luminescent orb of resonant energy within 5 feet of you. The orb instantly captures an impeccably detailed visual representation of either your immediate surroundings or a portrait of you and any willing creatures within view (a selfie).
Upon capture, you may immediately impart a brief mental note, written caption, or a spoken voiceover of up to 10 words into the orb.
Once recorded, the orb disperses in a flash of runes and light, channeling the collected imagery and auditory record through the planar flow of arcane energy directly to the archives of the Great Repository, where it is permanently indexed and stored. Once uploaded to the Ether-Tether, this broadcast becomes instantly accessible to any creature possessing an active connection to the network.
Special Properties & Acquisition:
* Universal Access: This spell is considered a universal cantrip. Any creature may learn and cast it at will without expending a spell slot or counting against their total known or prepared cantrips.
* Inscribed & Bound: It can be learned via specialized spell scrolls, integrated into spellbooks for free, or accessed through common enchanted jewelry (such as rings, amulets, torcs, or spectacles) tuned to the resonant frequency of the Ether-Tether.
