Level: 1Category: Exploration Casting Modifier: 0Duration: Encounter (5 minutes)Component Cost: 10 gp plus one Healing SurgeMarket Price: 50 gpKey Skill: Arcana When beginning the incantation, choose a language you have heard or a piece of writing you have seen since your last rest. Using this incantation on a language you have heard allows you to understand it when spoken for the next 5 minutes and, if your Arcana check result is 35 or higher, to speak the language fluently for the duration. Using this incantation on a language you have seen as a piece of writing allows you to read the language for the next 5 minutes and, if your Arcana check result is 35 or higher, to write the language in its native script or in any other script you know for the duration.Using this incantation on a language you have both heard and seen as a piece of writing since your last rest allows you to understand it in both forms for the next 5 minutes, and an Arcana check result of 35 or higher allows you to speak and write the language.   Use of an Incantation:To use an incantation, you must have a copy of the incantation available in the form of a scroll or have it in your book and be trained in its use. (SEE RITUALS) Upon beginning the casting of an incantation, spend a Healing Surge. If no Healing Surge is available, Hit Points equal to your Healing Surge value may be substituted, if after this loss you are still above 0 Hit Points. When casting an incantation, you may take no other action during the casting, including the round in which the casting is begun, excluding the round on which the casting is successfully executed, when the casting takes a standard action. If the incantation is successfully cast on the round it is started, consider the casting took the full round.Casting of the incantation may be ended at any time voluntarily, but doing so still uses up the material components used by the incantation, excluding the scroll, if it was being cast from a scroll, but including the Healing Surge required to begin the casting. To cast the incantation, make a casting check each round, applying the incantation's Casting Modifier to the roll. (This does not accumulate). On a roll of a natural 1, the casting is botched. (See Botching, below)On a modified roll of 10 or above, the casting is successful and the effects of the incantation take place after rolling the appropriate check for variable results (if any). If the casting is neither Botched nor Successful, the casting may be continued your next round. If for any reason you are forced from the original square where the casting originated while actively casting (having started but not voluntarially ended the casting), the casting is automatically botched. (see Botching). Casting an incantation does provoke OAs, as if using a ranged power. If the OA takes you to 0 Hit Points or below, the casting is automatically botched. (See Botching). Upon taking damage while in the process of casting, you must make an immediate save (this may result in multiple saves if damaged by different attacks while casting, even in the same round and outside your own turn. This is an exception to the normal save rule.)  A failure results in a botch, otherwise the casting proceeds normally. Casting Check: A casting check is like a save with the exception of the possibility of a Botch on the roll of a natural 1 on any round of the casting. Botching: On the roll of a natural 1, the casting of the incantation is a failure.You lose the material components used in the casting (including the scroll if a scroll was used in the casting attempt) Plus an additional Healing Surge on top of the one used to start the casting. If no Healing Surge is available, take Hit Point damage equal to the value of your Healing Surge, plus you also become stunned (save ends). OK, There you go. The mechanics and an example of a ritual become an incantation. Remember this is a PEACH. </blockquote>
