		+	== Overview ==
		+
		+	Sending (i.e. telepathic communication) is a type of magic that is universally found amongst the wolfriders. Every member of the tribe is able to both send and receive sends. The ability is, generally, universal amongst elves. (It is possible for elves to "forget" about it through disuse. Those elves will still possess the ability to send, but would have to re-learn how to do it.) While the ability to send is innate, therefore, it must be practiced and learned to achieve proficiency in it.
		+
		+	In the later stages of pregnancy, a mother becomes able to send to and receive feedback from her unborn child, including the child's soul-name. Children do have to learn sending in the same way that they learn to talk. Children are able to receive the sending of parents and other adults from the beginning, but it is not always clear that they understand the contents of sending (except for basic emotions) until about the same time they begin to exhibit understanding of spoken words -- children may begin to heed a parent's sending as early as 12 months, but on average around 18 months to 2 years. Children themselves will begin to send around the same time, but the content of their sending tends to mirror that of their command of spoken language. A child's sending tends to be simplistic and emotion-laden. Because children have to learn control of sending, they are prone to "spilling" their emotions in uncontrolled sendings, and may disturb the entire tribe by sending vividly during dreams. This tendency may last through childhood and only end with the onset of puberty (it will cease altogether once the child learns his/her soul-name).
		+
		+	While there are no elves who cannot send, sending strength varies between individuals. Just as some elves can run faster than others, and some have better hearing or eyesight than others, some are stronger or weaker senders than others. The upper range of sending strength turns into the "going out via the spirit-world" powers of Savah, Suntop, and Winnowill in canon -- but that skill is typically not found amongst wolfblooded elves, and no one in the River Twine tribe is that strong. Sending does require effort, and a weakened physical condition can affect an elf's ability to send over distance. (However -- see above -- if a sender uses an elf's soul-name, even if the elf is in a weakened condition or unconscious, they will get at least a responsive echo signifying that the elf lives.)
		+
		+	It should be kept in mind that sending is not merely "talking without words/sound". Elves are able to convey images and emotions as well; some sends may be on this simpler, direct level and not contain words at all.
		+
		+	The elves have a maxim that says "there is only truth in sending". This is a factual truth -- while an elf might attempt to send a falsehood, the recipient would basically detect that intention along with the rest of the send's contents, and know the difference between truth and lie. (So, while it is possible to try to send a lie, it isn't possible to fool the recipient.) However, the contents of a send are dependent on an elf's subjective point of view. Elves need to be aware that there may be "viewpoint bias" in another elf's sending -- they may faithfully be communicating what they have seen (or think they have seen) and understand, but there may be a gap between that perception and reality.
