This spell reduces all types of writing and other recognizable symbols found on any sort of surface within range into illegible smears that cannot be deciphered. It affects pages within books, carvings on stone, or even tattoos with equal ease. It does not affect writing that is not actually on a surface, such as an illusion, projection, reflection, or anything similar.
Pages within spellbooks and magical items that contain writing (such as scrolls) are not affected, unless the spell contained within is of a level equal to or lower than the level at which you cast this spell. Against magical writing created by spell effects (such as glyphs of warding or symbols), Blot instead functions as a dispel magic spell capable of targeting one such spell effect within range. This spell has no effect on writing found on artifacts or similarly unique surfaces.
If a surface or set of writing is affected by Blot continuously for 7 days, the effect becomes permanent and the writing can never be recovered.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the duration increases by 1 day for each spell slot level above 1st.
