Arcane Etching is a low-level spell that allows the caster to magically engrave or inscribe symbols, words, or patterns onto solid materials, including non-magical and magical items. The spell infuses the material with arcane energy, making the etching visible and potentially imbuing it with minor magical properties.
When casting Arcane Etching, you must touch the surface of the object or material you wish to engrave. The spell's effect is limited to a single object or a 5-foot square area, depending on the size and shape of the item. The engraving can be as simple as a single rune or as complex as a detailed design, depending on the caster's intent and skill.
The magical engravings created by Arcane Etching have the following properties:
-
Visibility: The engravings are visible and can be easily discerned by anyone observing the object or material.
-
Durability: The engravings are resistant to fading or being erased by normal wear and tear. However, they can be intentionally removed through force or by magical means.
-
Minor Magical Properties: The engravings can have minor magical effects associated with them, such as enhancing the object's durability, granting a small bonus to specific types of checks, or providing a limited form of communication. The specific properties and their strength are determined by the caster's skill and the GM's discretion.
