Used by Nikki, Created by BOMBSHELL2150.
(It is clear that you are communicating with the target. )

Nikki's plays a sad song that evokes feelings of loss and longing as his mind slides back from the Fleshlands into his native Shadowlands. He follows the connection the dead left to it's physical remains in the world and engages the consciousness in conversation.

The target can communicate in your language for the next hour.

  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.
