Description
Message creates an "illusion" which delivers a message of the adept's choice when a pre-determined code word is spoken to the imbedded effect.  Magical message scrolls (enchanted so they can store such an effect) are commonly used by the wealthy and powerful to communicate without fear that the message will be intercepted and read by their enemies.  Such message scrolls often display an innocuous cover message so that casual observers will not suspect the scroll's true nature.
Effects
This is a highly specialized illusion, but the specific style and detail can vary greatly from version to version.  The simplest version overlays the real message onto the surface of the scroll after it is activated.  Others add aural or more complex visual components, subject only to the skill and artistry of the adept.
