Stylus of Secret Script Favored by wizards and other keepers of dangerous knowledge, these magical
writing devices ensure that unwanted eyes don't gain access to that which
is scribed by them. Using the stylus requires only that the protected text is
written with it. Once the text has been finished (a page, a book, or just a
sentence) the holder of the stylus simply speaks the password or phrase which
will allow reading of the document to be unhindered. Once set, the password for
a given text cannot be changed. Thereafter, any who speak the phrase before
attempting to read the text may do so without trouble. However if an attempt
is made to read the text without first speaking aloud the secret phrase the
written text vanishes, forever undone and unrecoverable.
Text written with the stylus radiates faint
transmutation magic. There is no limit to the number of texts which may be
scribed with the stylus. A dispel magic destroys any text written with
a stylus of secret script (DC 16). Text written with the stylus is
receptive to additional protective magicks.
A stylus of secret script is crafted from the
hairs of a displacer
beast which have been fused together with warm milk and magic.
