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. When casting, the mage may spend 1 Mana to render the enchantment permanent until it is dispelled or the object is destroyed, otherwise the enchantment will dissipate after the first activation. At Rank 3, Illusory Script may be used to mark living targets. If a target is unwilling, a successful Physical Magic Resistance roll vs. the mage's Casting roll will prevent the Illusory Script from adhering her body.
