For the duration, you understand the literal meaning of any language that you hear or see signed. You also understand any written language that you see, but you must be touching the surface on which the words are written. It takes about 1 minute to read one page of text. This spell doesn’t decode symbols or secret messages.

Posted Mar 12, 2025Why would the spell work for translating sign language? For that matter: Could sign language even plausibly develop in the Forgotten Realms when the cure for deafness is one Lesser Restoration away?

Posted Mar 26, 2025Because it's magic. Why would sign languages be any different?
Yes. Most people probably don't have easy access to spells like that, and sign languages are frequently used by people who aren't deaf.
