Ability Description |
This spell allows you encode or decode thoughts, psionic cryptograms, or telepathic remnants wherever you may find them; or extract them from creatures, willing or not. In casting this spell, you pull or place an idea, memory, or message from yourself or another creature into thin air. Against an unwilling creature, they must make a Will Saving throw vs your spell DC, with a failure yielding the manifestation in the form of a Thoughtstrand.
A Thoughtstrand is created in a form that can be observed (a scroll, a string of glowing energy, a paper-thin ticker reciept of thought, etc), can be stored or destroyed, has no weight, and otherwise slowly floats to the ground when unattended. The resulting text on the strand is in Common or a language you can produce, It can also be a coded into a Cipher that requires relevant abilities or features to decode⚙️, with your spell DC (or a Linguistics check) acting as the DC.
Kryptomemoria can also be used as a free action / ◇ with another Divination or Psionic that affects the mind (such as Modify Memory), creating a thoughtstrand from the result.
Decoded thoughtstrands can be added to the minds of others by using the spell again. Doing so adds the verbal version of the memory into the person's mind.
