You cause writing and images from one source (such as a book) to be copied into a book, paper, or parchment. This spell copies one square foot (one page in a typical large codex, or approximately 250 words) per minute. It can also create a miniature version of a large image, copying up to a 10 ft. square image onto a 1 ft. square paper in one minute, but considerable detail is lost this way. The caster must remain within range while spell works, but need not pay attention.

The spell faithfully copies what is there to the limit of it's ability, but subtle clues or hidden details might be lost. What the spell produces is obviously a reproduction, but includes all salient details, similar to what a journeyman artist could produce (equivalent to a Craft (calligraphy and drawing) roll of 15). You can concentrate on the spell to use your own skills to set the quality of what the spell produces.

The spell copies only non-magical text and images, not magical writings. The spell triggers (but does not copy) writing and symbol-based magic traps in the material being copied. The material component quill (1 hp, Hardness 0) does the actual writing, and if it is destroyed the spell ends.

Blank paper, parchment, or a book must be provided for the spell to write upon. If there are multiple pages, the spell can turn to the next page up to once per round. If more pages in the target exist than blank pages are available, the spell copies the original until it runs out of blank pages. At any time during the spell’s duration you can redirect the magic to copy from another target, copy onto a different blank source, or resume a duplication that was interrupted by a shortfall of blank pages.
