Kingly Empathy Speak thy mind.

1
The power to communicate with Creatures, humans, and Sapient beings.
Used by Astraeus, Created by Raccoon_Overlord.
(It is clear that you are communicating with the target. )

Astraeus spends a minute focusing, a finger or two placed on his forehead as he draws forth the power, upon which a small, gleaming yellow fleur-de-lis appears. He and those affected feel strangely connected to eachother, unless they have an already bad relationship. Nevertheless, Astraeus gains the ability to commune with just about anyone, using the subject’s most familiar ‘language’.
