Read Magic

By means of read magic, the caster can decipher magical inscriptions or runes, as follows:

• The magical script of a scroll of arcane spells can be understood. The caster is then able to activate the scroll at any time in the future.
• A spell book written by another arcane spell caster can be deciphered.
• Runes or magical words inscribed on an object or surface can be understood.

Once the caster has read a magical inscription using read magic, he or she is thereafter able to read that particular writing without recourse to the use of this spell.
