This spell is a deeper and more intense version of telepathy. It allows the priest to communicate silently and instantly with a single
willing subject. Participants may share deeper thoughts than with telepathy, including emotions and memories. Each participant sees, hears, and otherwise
senses everything experienced by the other, although such vicarious
experiences feel diluted and cannot be mistaken for direct sensations.

The participants can quickly share such personal concepts as plans, hopes, and
fears, but they cannot share skills or spells. Thus, it is impossible to communicate the procedure
for casting a particular spell or for picking a lock.

Communication through rapport is approximately 15 times faster than verbal communication. As with telepathy, the priest can establish separate “channels” to multiple individuals; each
such linkage costs one casting of the spell. There is no “crosstalk” between the
channels, however.

Rapport cannot be used on unwilling subjects.
