### Forgery (Alteration, Divination) **Level:** 2 **Components:** V, S, M **Range:** 0 **Casting Time:** 1 round **Duration:** 5 rounds/level **Saving Throw:** None **Area of Effect:** 1 page/level This spell allows the caster to make altered copies of official documents. In order to cast the spell, the mage must possess a sample of the handwriting he is attempting to duplicate. The sample used must be at least a full page document (approximately 250 words), it is destroyed at the end of the spell's duration. For the duration of the spell, the mage's handwriting perfectly mimics the handwriting on the sample document. There is no restriction upon the meaning of the document that the mage writes; only the style of the writing is copied, not the content. Documents made by this spell are indistinguishable from documents written by the author of the handwriting sample used. Any signatures or seals on the sample are magically duplicated on any page the caster desires, to a limit of one page per level of the caster. It is not required that duplicated signatures be in the same hand as the rest of the document; the spell reproduces the signature as accurately as it does the other handwriting. A [[Spells/Magic User/3rd Level MU/Dispel Magic|Dispel Magic]] spell causes the writing created by a forgery spell to revert to the caster's own handwriting.
