By means of this spell, the priest's handwriting, if it happens to be poor, is greatly enhanced. Furthermore, the priest can write twice as rapidly as normal and still produce high-quality copying of a text or map. This spell decreases the chance of error by 25% in the copying of text, including maps. It can be used when fabricating a magical scroll.
The scribe spell lasts as long as the priest continues to copy or compose a text, with a limit of eight hours in any case. Any interruption of the copying ends the scribe spell. In the case of scribing a magical spell scroll, the interrupted spell is spoiled and useless, and the work must be begun again.
The material components are ink, quill and parchment (book or scroll).
Notes: Very rare spell. (Updated from Dragon Magazine.)
