Diary

This spell records all things said or heard by the caster, creating a running script of the caster's life and scribing it in a diary book prepared by the caster. In addition, the caster can choose to stand still and concentrate in order to record the image of any scene or person he studies, or to transcribe any mental notes he wishes to add to his journal. One round of concentration creates a simple sketch, but a full turn provides a highly detailed and accurate depiction of the scene.

The diary spell begins recording any unfilled page specified by the caster. Generally, typical adventuring and occasional conversation fills the book at about 10 to 20 pages per hour.

The diary book need not be open, but it must be within 5 feet of the caster-the spell ends if the book is removed from this distance. The spell ends if all blank pages have been filled; the caster knows the book is full.

The spell requires a book in which events can be recorded. The caster must hold the book as the spell is cast.

Notes: Very rare. Known to be in Prismal's Pocket Library, Vol. I.
