It looks like a bunch of symbols and gibberish to non-casters. If a caster looked at the same magical formula they know it's thaumaturgical theory notation...problem is each caster has it's own shorthand for things. From there roll to decipher it (spellcraft) or cast a spell to understand it.If you have ever seen the CBS tv show "Numbers"...the episode "Sacrifice" in which they talked about how to measure baseball stats with a thing called "sabermetrics". In the episode they had to figure out what some of the abbreviations and shorthand meant. They knew what it was...just not what it measured. If you seen the episode you know what I am talking about.The spoken version...well it is a known fact that the written version was created to record it by the modern races. The ancient races used something else to record the language of magic. The spoken language is so complicated that no normal written language could capture the nuances of the language and the ancient language is a TRULY dead language.</blockquote>
