This spell repairs a single break or tear in an object you touch, such as a broken chain link, two halves of a broken key, a torn cloak, or a leaking wineskin. As long as the break or tear is no larger than 1 foot in any dimension, you mend it, leaving no trace of the former damage.
This spell can physically repair a magic item or construct, but the spell can't restore magic to such an object.
* - (two lodestones)
No, you can use Mending to fix the tear if you had the paper still. But it would not create a whole new page.
@GHSkub: The spell requires LODEstones not LOADstones. Lodestones are naturally occuring rocks with magnetic properties. They aint even listed as an item in DnD
Nope. Think of Mending like using Welding or Superglue to fix sth in real life. You can only recreate a state that has existed before. You can only mend things together, if all of the material is nearby.
The only way to mend a half eaten steak is to vomit the rest out - but half of your steak will be "chewy" and sogged in stomachfluids
