You touch one object with writing on it. You dip the pen in the drop of special ink, press it to a blank sheet of paper, and cast the spell. The writing on the object is then transcribed onto the blank page. The spell can fix words that have faded or been smudged, but does not translate the words into other languages, nor help you decipher their meaning (for example, it doesn't explain the writings from another wizard's spellbook). If the writing from the object cannot legibly fit on the page, front and back, it is cut off at the last possible full word.
If you can see the writing, you can choose a word for the transcription to start and a word for it to end. Otherwise, it automatically starts from the first word.
At Higher Levels: When cast with a slot of 5th or 6th level, this spell can transcribe on up to 5 pages, When cast with a slot of 7th or 8th level, this spell can transcribe on up to 20 pages. When cast with a slot of 9th level, there is no limit to the number of pages that may be used.
* - (A drop of ink infused with jacinth dust worth 5 GP, which the spell consumes; An inkpen made of jade worth 250 GP)
