This spell (more commonly known in Mulhorand as merely inscribe) enables the words of the caster to be directly etched on a piece of paper, vellum, or papyrus. All the caster need do is speak the words, and they are inscribed in the language she or he is speaking on any appropriate writing surface within 3 yards. If the caster subsequently speaks a spell during the spell's duration, the sounds of the verbal component are transcribed phonetically, but other components of the spell are not transcribed, and the magical effect originally generated by the sounds is not called forth by anyone repeating the sounds.
The material components for this spell are squid ink, a hawk's feather, and papyrus.
Notes: Granted by the Mulhorandi deity Thoth of the Forgotten Realms setting.
