(those rarely ended well).  But, it took a *LOT* of time.  Especially if the party took a few days of downtime.  Or heavens forbid, a week.  Then I needed TWO papers for one session.  In the end, it became to much.  So, the paper was destroyed in a blaze of fire by a disgruntled employee who had falsified a story, been discovered, and fired.But none of that answers your question.First or Zeroth level spell: Copy.  Existed in previous editions, don't remember off hand if it made an appearance somewhere in 3ed.</blockquote>
