Secret Page
(Alteration)
Level: 3
Range: Touch
Duration: Until dispelled
Area of Effect: 1 page, up to 2 ft. square
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 turn
Saving Throw: None
When cast, a Secret Page spell alters the actual contents of a page so that
they appear to be something entirely different. Thus, a map can be changed to
become a treatise on burnishing ebony walking sticks. The text of a spell can
be altered to show a ledger page or even another form of spell. Confuse
Languages and Explosive Runes spells may he cast upon the secret page, but a
Comprehend Languages spell cannot reveal the secret page's contents.
The caster is able to recall the original contents by speaking a command word,
perusing the actual page, and then returning it to its secret page form. The caster
can also remove the spell by double repetition of the command word. Others noting
the dim magic of a page within this spell cloaking its true contents can
attempt to Dispel Magic, but if it fails, the page is destroyed. A True Seeing spell
does not reveal the contents unless cast in combination with a Comprehend
Languages spell. An Erase spell can destroy the writing. The material components
are powdered herring scales and either Will o' Wisp or Boggart essence.
