To enact this magic, the priest draws a special glyph on any relatively horizontal surface (including a shield held out horizontally or the instep of a boot) with a special ink. When the glyph of revealing is complete, it glows and then vanishes, but it subsequently causes all dweomers within a 120-foot-diameter sphere of itself to glow with a clear white radiance the same brightness as faerie fire.

The outlines of magically hidden inscriptions, invisible wizard marks, magically concealed secret pages, runes, glyphs, symbols, and the like within its area of effect are clearly shown so that they can be read or identified without being triggered. The glyph of revealing may be moved without damaging it once it is complete.

The material component of this spell is an ink made of the juice of crushed eyebright, white chalk, and crushed quartz.

Notes: Granted by the god Deneir, Lord of Glyphs, of the Forgotten Realms setting.
