Message: <blockquote data-quote="KenHood" data-source="post: 4508105" data-attributes="member: 4413">And finally...Palindrome shares the results of his...[sblock=Arcane analysis]The Screamer is handwritten, and then copied using a simple set of magical inks that normally only last a few days before turning into smear. This copy was expertly treated, by Marco (you can feel his resonance), to make the inks permanent. Probably within a half a day of having been produced. The smearing has as much to do with the cheap quality of the paper as anything else, the producer is obviously not adept, or not particularly interested in permanence. You can not help but notice there is an odd resonance down at the bottom of the page. There is a blank spot, an area where nothing appears to be written.There is a very specific, very subtle resonance there. It's dormant now, but exposure to a certain kind of energy would trigger the effect. Whatever the effect is it's quite weak, certainly not more powerful than a cantrip.The energy is illusive, quite difficult to detect, even a trained mage could easily overlook it. A poorer quality copy of the screamer, or one made permanent later after production might have lose the energy entirely; as it is its almost gone.The energy itself is.... you're not sure if you've experienced it before. It's something exotic for sure (nothing prosaic like fire or force).[/sblock]He requests the copy of the Screamer and--in succession, pausing to study the results--casts the four cantrips upon the Screamer, in this order: Light, Ghost Sound, Prestidigitation, and Mage Hand.[OOC: If these bear no fruit, he is going to search Doddoddod's library for information about magicks cast upon texts and secret pages. He also asks the party member with the best Perception to study the document for a secret page (per the 1st level ritual).][sblock=Arcana Check (if needed)]<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1769261/" target="_blank">Searching library for references to text-oriented magic.
