Duplicate Manuscript

You create a copy of a mundane (non-magical) book, manuscript, or scroll. The new copy is identical to the original in every way, except that any damage to the original (such as burns or tears to pages) is not reproduced. If the original is missing text or pages, the copy will also be missing that text or those pages. Any invisible text, secret compartment, or otherwise obscured component of the original will not be copied. This spell cannot be used to reproduce a spell scroll or a magical rune, but it can be used to copy a spell book. If examined with a detect magic spell, the copy will give off a faint aura of transmutation, but is otherwise non-magical. If the value of the components is less than that of the original or less than 50 GP, or if they are of amounts less than the original, the spell fails.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you can create an additional copy of the manuscript for each slot above 1st without the need for additional components.
