Essentially what the title says:
What spells or unconventional uses of hexes are there for a witch to quickly communicate with someone far away, say, a hundred kilometers or further? Preferably low level spells.
Wizards can get Sending, Dream, Whispering Wind, and a few others. In contrast, witches get so few options that they probably have to rely on the postal system, messenger pigeons, and friendly other spellcasters.
The only methods I found so far are
-Gnome witches can get Lesser Dream
- Some patrons (Wisdom and Star patron) get Dream as a patron spell
- Scrying, with the option to use Message through the scrying sensor
- the Speak in Dreams Greater Hex (and also the Nightmares Greater Hex: hopefully rely a message to someone in the dream while frightening and weakening them, so not really suited for casual conversation or asking allies for help)
- The archetypes Pact Witch and Dimensional Occultist get the Planar Ally spells to call an outsider with teleport to serve as a mail carrier
On high levels, there is:
- Teleport Object
- Summon Monster IX to hopefully get an unusual Trumpet Archon with Sending prepared.
So the only long-range communication methods for witches I found are either race-restricted, have a low chance of sucess on the level you get it, require a specific hex and a sleeping recipient, or are on a level where the witch could easily just teleport somewhere to talk in person. Am I missing something?
Edit: Added the patrons that grant the Dream spell and the archtypes that grant the Planar Ally spell to the list of possibilities.
