Magic Mouth

Magic Mouth
Ritual Rank 2 [Figment]
Prerequisites: Eldritch Rank 2
Potency: 10
Cost: 2 Resolve Burn
Prep Time: 1 moment
Cast Time: 1 moment
Duration: Until discharged, dismissed, dispelled or disrupted.
Target: One creature or object.
Effect: You place an enchanted mouth upon the creature or object that relays a short message (25 words or less) in response to an audio or visual trigger within 20 ft per Ritual Casting Rank. The Magic Mouth appears in a way that creatures or objects with discernible mouths (such as statues) will seem to be speaking through their own mouths. The trigger can be as broad or specific as you'd like, as long as it is based on purely audio or visual cues.
  • The Magic Mouth has an Awareness and Intuition equal to yours and can see perfectly in normal darkness (but not through supernatural darkness).
  • Disguises and Illusions can fool the Magic Mouth if their associated skill checks are greater than the Magic Mouth's intuition.
  • Supernatural darkness or Invisibility can prevent the detection of visual triggers and Silence can prevent the detection of audio triggers.
  • A creature may sneak past a Magic Mouth if their Stealth check is greater than the Magic Mouth's Awareness.
  • The Magic Mouth can be made permanent if the caster has an Eldritch Rank 6 or higher and Burns an additional 6 Resolve. It will respond any time the effect is triggered. A triggered Magic Mouth resets after 10 minutes (or longer at your discretion).

Unless made permanent, once the Magic Mouth is triggered the ritual effect ends.
