The Papyrus of Demetrius

History & Secret Knowledge: A series of spells formulated by Demetrius of Athens when he created the Great Library at Alexandria, the original was written on papyrus. It has since been copied and expanded, but the Order of the Mouseion still has the original papyrus preserved in its archives. The spells were all designed to simplify the work of the librarians.

Glossalalia (6) not only allows people who do not speak the same language to understand each other, but also allows text in an unknown language to be read as though it were in the sorceror's own tongue, yet without losing any nuances of the original meaning.
Copying scrolls by hand is prone to errors, and this can be a problem when working with magickal lore, so the order developed the spell of Duplicate (12) which allowed the caster to create an exact facsimile of the original document no matter what its form. It didn't ease the effort involved in copying, or speed up the time taken to do so, but it did ensure that every nuance of the original was recreated in the copy whether it was a written document, beads and wampum, or an oral tradition being consigned to parchment.
Search the Archives (8) was originally created so that archivists at the library could find the volumes they were looking for on the stacks. It can, however, be used to locate any object or person known to the caster, even if they have only ever seen it before from a distance.
Sometimes the content of a scroll was considered so dangerous that the librarians could not permit it to be read by anybody, yet they could not bring themselves to destroy any document. Thus the spell of Obfuscate (10) would scramble the text of a document beyond even the power of Glossalalia to interpret. The result could only be unscrambled by the Clarity (10) spell.
Sorcerous lore is often protected by wards that can prove harmful or even fatal to the scribe copy them. Insinuate allows the caster to read the content of a document without triggering the wards set to protect it: lesser wards would not reveal that the protection had been breached, greater wards would not trigger their counterspell. A simplified version of this spell, Release is commonly used by sorcerer archaeologists to counter the spells of protection set on tombs, but Release simply allows the thaumic energies of the ward to dissipate safely, and the original caster of lesser wards bypassed in this way will know that his defences have been breached. The Thaumic cost for Release is the original total cost to set the wards times two. The cost for Insinuate is the original total for the wards multiplied by six. Because the caster cannot know the nature of the wards set on an object or place, he will not know that his counterspell has succeeded until he senses the change in magickal energies. Because the caster of either of these spells does not know the Thaumic nature of the wards, these spells both require unaligned energy of all four aspects in their casting, and there are no harmonic effects. However, drawing a joker from the sorcery deck will still trigger wild effects.
