Tweaked from 5eYou already know this as 5e Message — It's your Message cantrip—same point-and-whisper two-way comms, but it requires the target to carry a commlink and the messages are encrypted against interception. ✨
Whisper to one commlink-carrying creature within 120 feet; only they hear the message and can send an encrypted reply only you receive.

You point your finger toward a creature within range that possesses a commlink and whisper a message. The target (and only the target) hears the message and can send an encrypted reply that only you can hear. These messages cannot be intercepted or decrypted by unenhanced means.
You can cast this power through solid objects if you are familiar with the target and know it is beyond the barrier. 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood blocks the power. The power doesn't have to follow a straight line and can travel freely around corners or through openings.
