It has a range of up to two squares away from the caster in any direction, can be self-cast, and greatly increases the WIS of a single target. Silvapithecus and Slimecicle also possess the awakening perk Rare Ping, which has a chance to greatly increase their WIS for 4 turns at the start of each turn.
