Conjure Herald

You create a floating spirit which conveys a message of your choice. The herald appears to be a Medium or Small creature of ghostly form, with you determining its appearance otherwise. The herald knows a fixed message of up to 25 words. When you cast this spell, choose one of the following effects:

• Ward. The herald is cast at a particular location, or on a statue or other object with a mouth, and is fixed to that point. It is invisible and motionless until a specific condition is met within 30 feet of its location. When the condition is met, it appears and recites its message. If cast on an object, it moves the object’s mouth rather than appearing directly. You determine whether it does so once or disappears again and repeats the message every time the condition is met. When cast in this way, the herald lasts until dispelled.

• Announcement. The herald floats through the air up to 100 feet up and 30 feet per round, repeating its message every round. It traverses an area up to a 5-mile radius around its location, conveying its message to every creature it sees. When cast in this way, the herald lasts for 1 hour.
