Effect The mage enchants an object to reveal illusory text or imagery when any or all of the following criteria (chosen by the mage at casting) are met. The message may reveal itself when:
  • A chosen target touches the enchanted object (Caster must have met and spoken with the target OR established familiarity via Sense Minds)
  • A caster-created pass phrase or code is spoken, written, or drawn onto the object
  • Appropriate credentials are presented
  • A predetermined amount of time passes
  • Magecraft is used within Rank yards

Once revealed, the script remains visible for up to Rank minutes before disappearing.

At casting, the mage may spend 1 mana to render the enchantment permanent until dispelled or destroyed - otherwise the enchantment will dissipate after the first activation.
