On a success, the target hears the message in its mind, recognizes you as the sender, and can answer in a like manner immediately. The spell enables targets to understand the meaning of your message. On a failure, the spell fails and you cannot attempt it again until you finish a Long Rest.
Upon receiving your message, a creature can block your ability to reach it again with this spell for 8 hours. If you try to send another message during that time, you learn that you are blocked, and the spell fails.
