Flame's Whisper is an evocation spell that creates a small, sentient flame at the caster's fingertips, capable of conveying messages through its color and movement. This spell is a marriage of fire and thought, a delicate synthesis of evocation and subtle communication. As you strike the flint and tinder, the spark ignites not just a flame but a conduit for silent conversation, a tiny elemental being that dances at your command.

Upon casting Flame's Whisper, a small flame springs to life, hovering just above your fingertip. This flame is no ordinary fire; it possesses a semblance of awareness, responding to your thoughts and emotions. It flickers and changes, its colors shifting from warm reds to bright yellows, deep blues to soothing greens, each hue a word, each dance a sentence in the silent language of fire.

The flame can be used to communicate over short distances, visible to those who can see its light. Its ability to change color and intensity allows you to convey messages without sound, making it ideal for sending signals, conveying warnings, or even engaging in clandestine conversations. The subtlety of the flame's language lies in its ability to express complex ideas through simple changes, a flicker for a yes, a flare for a no, a slow burn for contemplation.

However, the Flame's Whisper requires concentration and understanding to interpret. The nuances of its language are as complex as they are beautiful, and it takes a keen mind and a perceptive eye to fully grasp the depth of its communication.

This spell is particularly favored by those who need to communicate discreetly, such as spies, scouts, or adventurers in situations where silence is paramount. It is also a tool for those who appreciate the art of subtle and elegant communication, for whom words are more than mere sounds.

Flame's Whisper is not just a method of communication; it is a reminder of the primal power of fire and its role as the first messenger of mankind. In the dance of its flames, one can find the ancient stories told around campfires, the secrets passed down through generations, and the silent conversations that have illuminated the darkness since time immemorial.
